The Emergency Department CAHPS process is getting closer to becoming a reality, with a survey instrument currently under development and going through some testing. We all know that it will be important to start incorporating the ED-CAHPS survey into your organization once it is available, but what can you do to prepare your hospital for the upcoming process in advance? How can you get your Emergency Department staff in the right “mindset” for receiving CAHPS-related data in the near future?

Alan Jackson, Janette Jones and Valerie Sipe, all with The Jackson Group, gather to discuss the upcoming ED-CAHPS process, what we know at this point, and how organizations can prepare for its inevitable roll-out.
