Abstract: Administration of In-center Hemodialysis CAHPS(ICH CAHPS) survey by more than 5,700 Medicare-certified ESRD facilities is required as part of the value-based purchasing program for payments under the Medicare program, as described in the 2016 proposed and final ESRD Prospective System Payment Update Rules published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2015, and November 6, 2015, respectively. Value-based purchasing promotes CMS’ goals: better healthcare for individuals; better care for populations and communities; and, lower costs through improvement. Beginning in CY2014, ICH facilities are required to contract with a CMS-approved survey vendor to implement the survey; the CMS-approved vendor shall follow a set of standardized survey administration procedures developed for the national implementation. Survey results from the national implementation will be publicly reported on the DFC website on www.medicare.gov.
