Grant Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the cooperative agreement (U18) mechanism in which substantial AHRQ scientific and/or programmatic involvement with the awardee is anticipated during performance of the activity. The purpose of this FOA for CAHPS III is to continue the work of the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems project (or CAHPS) which AHRQ began in 1995. CAHPS III has four main objectives. The first is to develop and test ways that organizations can use CAHPS data for quality improvement purposes. AHRQ is particularly interested in testing and disseminating ways that data from the CAHPS instrument for clinicians/group practices can be used for this purpose. The second objective concerns conducting research on and strategies for reporting CAHPS results to consumers, patients and other audiences. Though AHRQ continues to be interested in better ways to report survey results to support consumer choice (of health plans, providers, hospitals, etc.), the Agency is also interested in research on reporting CAHPS results to various audiences for quality improvement purposes. In addition, AHRQ is interested in the development and testing of resources to assist report developers in designing useful and usable reports. The third objective concerns instrument development and refinement. Since a large percentage of resources in CAHPS I and II were devoted to instrument development, AHRQ expects to spend a relatively small proportion of CAHPS III resources in this area (See section IV.6, Application Characteristics, for budget assumptions). However, there will be a survey for residents of assisted living facilities developed, and others may be developed as well depending on need, cost and likelihood of use. The fourth and final objective is to continue to disseminate and promote the use of CAHPS products.
