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.

Short Statement:
The program change is due to the inclusion of VA Forms 10-1465-5 and 10-1465-6, respectively the C&G PCMH short and long forms. The increase in burden hours is 23,333. However, VHA reduced the amount of SHEP Outpatient Short form surveys (10-1465-4) mailed, such that there will be a net decrease of 25,340 burden hours. VHA is undertaking a new initiative to implement a patient-centered medical home model of care at all VHA Primary Care sites, and is referred to as Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACT). This initiative supports VHA's Universal Health Care Services Plan to redesign VHA healthcare delivery through increasing access, coordination, communication, and continuity of care. PACT provides accessible, coordinated, comprehensive, patient-centered care, and is managed by primary care providers with the active involvement of other clinical and non-clinical staff. PACT allows patients to have a more active role in their health care and is associated with increased quality improvement, patient satisfaction, and a decrease in hospital costs due to fewer hospital visits and readmissions. Currently VHA has no mechanism in place to measure the effectiveness of the PACT model from the patients' perspective. The inclusion of these 2 new forms will fill that void.
