Abstract:
The overall purpose of the VHA Office of Quality and Performance Survey of Health Experience of Patients (SHEP) Survey Program is to systematically obtain information from patients that can be used to identify problems or complaints that need attention and to improve the quality of health care services delivered to Veterans. Information obtained from the SHEP Program is one component of a larger Network Directors Performance Agreement system in VHA that culminates in the annual Network Performance Report. Results of each of the customer satisfaction surveys are made readily available to VA Central Office (VACO), Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN), VHA field staff, and stakeholders as part of the Network Performance Report and via the VA Intranet. Data is used to demonstrate that VA is providing timely, high quality health care services to patients and to measure improvement toward the goal of matching or exceeding the non-VA external benchmark performance.
