CMS Final Rule: Managing Mandatory OAS CAHPS Participation in Ambulatory Surgery Settings

Webinar

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has initiated a two-phased approach to implement mandatory Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery survey administration (OAS CAHPS) in Hospital Outpatient Departments (HOPDs) and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) nationally.  Part of the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) bundle of surveys, the OAS CAHPS survey is designed to measure the experiences of care for patients who visited Medicare-certified HOPDs or ASCs for a surgery or procedure to help inform quality improvement and comparative consumer information about outpatient facilities.

This session will explain the benefits of participating in the program, the implications of participating on your public reporting and financial reimbursement, the timeline and specific requirements outlined in the program’s final rule and ensure that you have taken the necessary steps to prepare your organization to meet CMS’s mandatory requirement.
