Revised Data Collection Schedule for the 2015 ICH CAHPS Fall Survey
folder_openOther Announcementscalendar_todayPosted August 19, 2015
The sampling window for the 2015 ICH CAHPS Fall Survey includes patients who received hemodialysis from ICH facilities in April, May, and June 2015. The Coordination Team recently learned that patient information for the month of June will not be available from CROWNWeb until early September 2015. Therefore, provision of the sample files to survey vendors and the beginning of the data collection activities for the 2015 Fall Survey will be delayed. The revised data collection schedule and the dates for some key activities related to the 2015 Fall Survey are shown below.
If CROWNWeb is delayed any further in providing patient-level data needed for sample selection, we may need to revise the schedule again. We will let you know in early September whether the samples can be provided as shown in this schedule.
