Abstract: As part of the DHHS Transparency Initiative on Quality Reporting, CMS plans to implement a process to measure and publicly report patients' experiences with home health care they receive from Medicare-certified home health agencies. The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Home Health Care Survey is a standardized survey for home health patients to assess their home health care providers and the quality of the home health care they receive. This collection package covers the voluntary implementation of the survey among Medicare-certified agencies and a randomized mode experiment to test the impact of different modes of data collection on survey responses.
