The percentage of patients 18-75 years of age with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) who received a nephropathy screening test or monitoring test or had evidence of nephropathy during the measurement year.
This is a survey-based measure and one of the family of surveys called CAHPS Surveys (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems)that are focused on patient experience. The questionnaire asks End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients receiving in-center hemodialysis care about the services and quality of care that they experience. Patients assess their dialysis providers, including nephrologists and medical and non-medical staff, the quality of dialysis care they receive, and information sharing about their disease.
The CAHPS Health Plan Survey is a survey that asks health plan enrollees to report about their care and health plan experiences as well as the quality of care received from physicians. HP-CAHPS Version 4.0 was endorsed by NQF in July 2007 (NQF #0006) and Version 5.0 received maintenance endorsement in January 2015. The survey is part of the CAHPS family of patient experience surveys and is available in the public domain at https://www.ahrq.gov/cahps/surveys-guidance/hp/index.html
