The ICH CAHPS Survey results that are currently posted on Care Compare on the Medicare.gov website (https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/) are based on ICH CAHPS Survey data from the 2023 ICH CAHPS Fall and 2024 ICH CAHPS Spring Surveys.

Patient-Mix Coefficients and Star Ratings for the 2025 April Refresh

The results shown are statistically adjusted for both data collection mode and for patient-mix. Information about the adjustments made to the survey results and the coefficients used to adjust the results can be found here. Information presented in this document will allow ICH facilities to approximate the effect of patient-mix adjustment on their ICH CAHPS Survey results that were posted on Care Compare in April 2025. This document also includes additional information on the clustering method used to create ICH CAHPS Star Ratings (Appendix A).

Please note that in previous versions of this document, there was an erroneous variable (Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions) in the list of patient-mix adjusters on Page 3. This variable has never been included in the patient-mix adjustment and has never been included in the formula on Page 4 or in the tables of coefficients.
