Your trust, our mission
Welcome to CAHPS-SUN.org, the official website of Project CAHPS (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems), a multi-year initiative funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Our goal is to improve the quality of healthcare by understanding patients' needs and expectations and providing reliable information about their experiences with healthcare services.
About the CAHPS Project
The CAHPS Project was initiated to collect and analyze data on healthcare quality from the patients' perspective. Our research focuses on collecting patients' opinions on various aspects of health care, such as the availability of services, communication with medical professionals, and overall satisfaction with the care received.
Mission and goals
The main goal of the project is to provide information that can be used by policymakers, health care providers and patients themselves to make informed health care decisions. Through our research:
- Patients can obtain reliable data on the quality of services provided by different providers.
- Health care providers can better understand their patients' expectations and make improvements in the care they offer.
- Policy makers can create policies and programs that better meet the needs of the public.
