There are a number of tools and methods that can be used to gauge patient satisfaction and quality of care. Examples include:
surveys
personal interviews
observation
focus groups
The AHRQ Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) surveys ask consumers and patients to report on and evaluate their experiences with health care. CAHPS® surveys ask patients to report on their experiences with a range of health care services at multiple levels of the delivery system. Several surveys ask about experiences with ambulatory care providers such as health plans, physicians’ offices, and behavioral health plans. Some of the surveys ask about experiences with care delivered in facilities such as hospitals, dialysis centers, and nursing homes.

Review Existing Validated Survey, review your assigned CAHPS® surveys
From your assigned survey, select five (5) closed ended survey questions. Cut and paste into a word document.
Then convert the five (5) questions to an open-ended question but save the original 5 closed ended questions. (Change to an open-ended question by eliminating the answer choices and leave a blank for the person to fill in an answer). Now you should have 10 questions; 5 open-ended and 5 closed ended questions in your word document.
