Revised 2017 ICH CAHPS Fall Survey Data Collection Schedule
folder_openOther Announcementscalendar_todayPosted October 3, 2017
As you know, there has been a delay in providing the 2017 ICH CAHPS Fall Survey sample files to vendors due to a problem with the CROWNWeb files. CMS and the Coordination Team now have the CROWNWeb files and are working diligently to draw the samples for the 2017 Fall Survey.
Below is the revised tentative schedule for the 2017 Fall Survey. Note that we anticipate having the sample files available for vendors to download by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on October 9, 2017. If any changes are required due to issues with the sampling process, we will alert vendors as soon as possible.
