Population version: Child
Download these items: English (Word, 30 KB)
Users of the CAHPS® Health Plan Survey are free to incorporate supplemental items in order to meet the needs of their organizations, local markets, and/or audiences.
About these items: The CAHPS team's research indicated that patient experience with shared decisionmaking is best assessed by asking about a specific decision. For that reason, these supplemental items ask about starting or stopping a medication and talking about a procedure. Testing of these items has confirmed that it is difficult to obtain an adequate sample based on the frequency of these events occurring in the general pediatric population. You should include the shared decisionmaking items only if your sample design is likely to yield a sufficient number of responses to these questions for statistical analysis and reporting.
