6.C.2 The practice uses the Patient-Centered Medical Home version of the CAHPS Clinician & Group survey tool

Note: Practices can earn Distinction from NCQA for using the CAHPS PCMH survey to collect patient experience data and for:

  • Using a specific methodology to collect the data.
  • Using a certified vendor to collect the data.
  • Reporting results to NCQA, to be used to benchmark patient-experience data.

6.C.3 The practice obtains feedback on experiences of vulnerable patient groups

According to NCQA, the practice uses a survey or another method to assess quality of care for its vulnerable subgroups. Patient self-identification in the survey may provide the basis for the subgroups.

6.C.4 The practice obtains feedback from patients/families through qualitative means.

According to NCQA, qualitative feedback methods such as focus groups, individual interviews, patient walkthrough and suggestion boxes may be used. Practices may use a feedback methodology conducive to its population of patients/families or parents, such as “virtual” participation (e.g., by phone or videoconference). Comments from surveys used to satisfy factors 1 and 2 do not meet this requirement.
