Description:
Several quality of health care items are asked in the self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) of the MEPS-HC. Topics include experiences with getting an appointment, experiences at the appointment, and smoking and blood pressure related topics. The quality of care measures were taken from an AHRQ-sponsored instrument, the Consumer Assessment of Health Plans (CAHPS®).
In addition to the MEPS publications listed below, the annual National Healthcare Quality Report is available at
