Indianapolis, IN (July 6th, 2023)– Indianapolis-based Mobius Vendor Partners(MobiusVP)presented comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on a number of proposals to improve and modernize the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey process. To see our full comments to the proposals, click here.

In general, Mobius Vendor Partners supports the policy proposals and is excited to play a role in both increasing accessibility for patients and also ensuring that providers are receiving accurate data from a larger pool of stakeholders.

The policy proposals supported by Mobius VP consisted of a variety of methods to increase accessibility and inclusivity, including:

• Expanded Modes of Survey Administration (website, email, text messaging)
• Allowing Proxy Responses
• Extending the Data Collection Period (49 days)
• Requiring a Spanish-Language Option
• Removal of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Multi-Site Options

With these changes to the HCAHPS survey, providers will be able to collect significantly more data from patients, giving the healthcare industry an opportunity to further improve their practices and enhance the overall patient experience.
