Are you permitted to use Q Reviews’ patient surveys alongside OAS CAHPS surveys?

Yes. CMS permits healthcare providers to use other surveys besides OAS CAHPS in the ambulatory surgery setting. When using another survey, the facility cannot include any of the OAS CAHPS questions or similar questions. Here is a link to the full OAS CAHPS Guidelines. Pages 18 and 19 are pertinent to this question.
