Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number:0935-0179)

Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

Technical Assistance (TA) User Feedback for Program and User Support and Quality Measure Tool Development for Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) and Surveys on Patient Safety CultureTM (SOPS™) (HHSP233201500026I/HHSP23337004T)

PURPOSE:

In order to assess the effectiveness of the CAHPS and SOPS technical assistance that Westat provides, Westat will ask those that receive technical assistance to complete a brief web-based questionnaire. The feedback will allow Westat to evaluate its performance in meeting user needs and to identify ways to improve its customer service. Westat will ask all users who contact the CAHPS technical assistance mailbox ([email protected]) and the SOPS technical assistance mailbox ([email protected]) to complete a brief web based questionnaire hosted on SurveyMonkey. SurveyMonkey was chosen because it allows for free, easy to use and secure web-based administration. The questionnaire addresses user experience with obtaining timely and useful technical assistance.



DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

In order to ensure meaningful feedback, we will ask all users who email CAHPS and SOPS related questions to the CAHPS and SOPS technical assistance mailboxes to complete a brief web-based questionnaire. When responding to technical assistance requests, Westat will include a direct link to the questionnaire at the end of the email response and ask that users complete the questionnaire.
