Abstract:
Outpatient surgeries and procedures performed at Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) have increased significantly in the past two decades with the advances in technology and medical care that allow the procedures to be safely performed outside of the hospital outpatient surgery department (HOSD) setting. There is currently no standardized survey administered by all ASCs and HOSDs to assess patients' experiences of care. Considering the large number of patients who receive outpatient surgery in both ASCs and HOSDs, a standardized survey of outpatient surgery patients that will produce statistically valid survey comparative results is imperative. The Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Experience of Care Survey will support the Affordable Care Act and enhance Medicare's capacity to evaluate HOSDs and ASCs by assessing patients' experiences with outpatient and ambulatory surgery. This submission is in support of a field test of the survey. The field test will examine how well questions in the survey perform under real-world survey administration conditions and how appropriate they are for making objective comparisons between ASCs and HOSDs across the U.S. In addition, CMS plans to submit the instrument for certification as a Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey, which requires a field test as part of the certification process. The target population for the Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Experience of Care Survey is patients who had an outpatient surgery or procedure at an HOSD or ASC. A rigorous, well-designed outpatient and ambulatory surgery experience of care survey will allow us to understand patients' experiences in HOSDs and ASCs. This information will be used to help improve the quality of outpatient care patients receive from HOSDs and ASCs.
