HCAHPS (NQF #0166) is a 29-item survey instrument that produces 10 publicly reported measures:
6 multi-item measures (communication with doctors, communication with nurses, responsiveness of hospital staff, communication about medicines, discharge information and care transition); and
4 single-item measures (cleanliness of the hospital environment, quietness of the hospital environment, overall rating of the hospital, and recommendation of hospital).
This measure calculates the percentage of acute ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke patients who arrive at the emergency department (ED) within two hours of the onset of symptoms and have a head computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan interpreted within 45 minutes of ED arrival. The measure is calculated using chart abstracted data, on a rolling, quarterly basis and is publicly reported, in aggregate, for one calendar year.
0-100 measure of health literacy related to patient-centered communication, derived from items on the staff and patient surveys of the Communication Climate Assessment Toolkit
