Surveyed population comprises a sample of CCC MAP enrollees with at least one re-enrollment in a 5-year period. Enrollees who cannot be reached by phone are not surveyed. Sampling methodology is designed to capture a population segment that closely represents the CCC MAP population as a whole.
CCC partners with United Way for Greater Austin (UW) to conduct the PROMIS and CAHPS surveys. The CCC provides UW a list of enrollees to be called. A maximum of 3 attempts are made to capture survey responses from each enrollee. Enrollee responses to multiple choice questions are recorded by UW staff .
Patient Experience Survey Description
Items from the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health Plan Survey address members’ experience of access to care.
Two composite measures are reported: Getting Needed Care and Getting Care Quickly. Each is based on the average “top box” score (most favorable answer) to the two questions that make up the composite.
Percentile top box scores for the 2017 Adult Medicaid population are used as benchmarks.
Getting Care Quickly Composite Questions:
Did you get urgently needed care for illness, injury or condition as soon as needed?
Did you get routine appointment at doctor’s office or clinic as soon as needed?
Getting Needed Care Composite Questions:
How often was it easy to get needed care, tests, or treatment?
Did you get appointments with specialists as soon as needed?
