Patient Assessment Survey (PAS)
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.
