About CAHPS

Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS^®) surveys ask consumers about their experiences with health care. The CAHPS program at the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) supports the development and promotion of CAHPS surveys, instructional materials, and databases, and provides technical assistance to users. Learn more about AHRQ’s CAHPS program. AHRQ’s CAHPS Database receives data voluntarily submitted by users that have administered either the CAHPS Health Plan Survey, the CAHPS Home and Community Based-Services Survey, or the CAHPS Child Hospital Survey. The CAHPS Database aggregates the data to facilitate comparisons of CAHPS survey results by users, researchers, and other interested organizations. Learn more about AHRQ’s CAHPS Database.
