Measuring Customer Satisfaction: Case Studies from Hospital Quality Reporting Program (HQR) and Quality Payment Program (QPP)

Program

This month's Community of Practice event, we heard case studies from HQR and QPP to learn how they’ve implemented customer satisfaction surveys into their HCD practice. These surveys provide a continuous feedback mechanism for customers to express actionable praise and critique of CCSQ products and services. We learned about aspects of customer satisfaction research at CCSQ, such as: 

• Securing PRA coverage 
• Survey tools used on these projects 
• Writing customer satisfaction survey questions 
• Leveraging site intercept survey technology 
• How the HCD Center of Excellence can support your team’s customer satisfaction research 

The discussion was led by HQR presenter, Lesley Humphreys, of Bellese Technologies, QPP presenter, Kiel McLaughlin, of Agile Six Applications, Inc. and Leann Down, of Huge, Inc.
