ACHE-Nevada, HCAHPS Data/Improvements in Patients’ Experience of Care

Discover How to Use Your HCAHPS Data and Make Improvements in Your Patients’ Experience of Care

The speakers will present analytic steps on how to determine what areas of patient experience are in most need of improvement at hospitals and provide information about interventions that have been shown to improve doctor and nurse communication, as well as interventions that did not result in improved HCAHPS scores. They will review a framework and set of initial analysis steps to assist leaders in reviewing HCAHPS scores, analyzing what drives the HCAHPS scores, comparing scores to national benchmarks and deciding on what areas of improvement are needed. The speakers will also present various evidence-based interventions from a recent literature review on implementations to improve HCAHPS scores and identify which efforts and programs can spur improvements and move the needle on specific HCAHPS scores.
