Patient Assessment Survey (PAS)

Patient Assessment Survey (PAS)—Group Survey
The Patient Assessment Survey measures patient experience at the physician group level. The publicly-reported results are used by physician groups for quality improvement, by consumers for physician group selection, and by health plans for determining quality-based payments through the Pay for Performance initiative. Any California provider group that serves adult commercial HMO and POS enrollees is eligible to participate in PAS.
Learn more about the Group Survey.

Patient Assessment Survey (PAS)—Doctor Survey
CCHRI also offers groups an opportunity to do physician-level surveying with the Doctor Survey, using the same survey tool as that used for the Group Survey. The Doctor Survey results, which are not publicly reported, enable groups to further focus their quality improvement work.
Learn more about the Doctor Survey.

After Hours Care Survey
CCHRI also conducts a telephone survey of primary care physician offices to assess after-hours physician availability and access to appropriate emergency and urgent care information. The survey is conducted for fifty primary care office sites in each participating provider group and results are publicly reported.
