3 Introduction This report presents a summary of findings and recommendations from a study commissioned by the Health Care Homes Unit of the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to assess the equivalency of two versions of the CAHPS Clinician & Group (CG-CAHPS) Survey: 1) the CG- CAHPS Visit Survey (CG-Visit), compared to 2) the CG-CAHPS Patient-Centered Medical Home Survey (CG-PCMH) modified to include the core questions from the CG-Visit Survey. Under current State of Minnesota health care reporting requirements, all clinics with sufficient patient volume are required to collect and report data using the CG-Visit survey. In addition, the MDH Health Care Homes Unit is considering asking certified health care home clinics to collect and report the CG-PCMH survey as part of its patient experience recertification requirements. In order to meet both surveying requirements, practices would have to administer two different survey versions. If survey results for the core CG-Visit survey questions used in both surveys are found to be the same, health care home clinics would be able to use only the modified CG-PCMH survey to meet two State of Minnesota reporting requirements, thus reducing survey burden and cost. This report summarizes the study background and aims, methods, key findings, and implications for state policymakers regarding the use of the CG-Visit survey versus the CG-PCMH survey with core CG-Visit items added. Background and Aims Minnesota s health reform law enacted in 2008 includes a number of initiatives aimed at improving the quality and affordability of care. The health care homes provision of the law is designed to promote a new approach to primary care emphasizing the delivery of coordinated care from a team of health care providers focusing on common goals. Health care providers must meet a set of standards and criteria in order to be certified as a health care home in Minnesota. Among these requirements, MDH is considering asking health care homes to collect and report the new CG-CAHPS Patient-Centered Medical Home Survey (CG-PCMH) as part of its patient experience recertification requirements. The Minnesota health reform law also includes requirements for providers to collect and report a set of quality measures through the Minnesota Statewide Quality Reporting and Measurement System. As part of this system, a rule that took effect in 2012 requires all primary care clinics with sufficient patient volume to collect and report the CG-CAHPS Visit Survey (CG-Visit). A large number of clinics throughout the state are currently collecting CG-Visit survey data that will be publicly reported in the spring of Given these two requirements for patient experience survey data -- one currently in effect for the CG-Visit survey and the other under consideration by the MDH Health Care Homes Unit -- primary care clinics seeking health care home recertification would need to collect and report both CG-Visit and CG-PCMH data. However, if a modified version of the CG-PCMH survey including the required CG-Visit core could satisfy both requirements, health care home clinics would need to collect and report only one survey instead of two. The ability of health care homes to use just one survey would reduce data collection and reporting burdens, and also would make 3

4 possible the comparison of core CG-Visit results from primary care clinics that are health care homes to primary care clinics that are not health care homes. Methods To test equivalency between the core questions administered using the CG-Visit survey alone against the CG-PCMH survey modified to include the CG-Visit core questions, a randomized split sample of patients was drawn from six participating clinic sites in the Twin Cities metropolitan area recruited by the MDH Health Care Homes Unit. The distribution of sites volunteered by health care organizations participating in the study is shown in Table 1. Table 1. Distribution of Participating Clinic Sites Health Care Organization Number of Sites HealthEast Care System 2 HealthPartners 2 rth Memorial Health Care 1 Stillwater Medical Group 1 Total 6 Within each site, one arm of the sample received the CG-Visit survey. The other arm of the sample received the CG-PCMH survey plus Visit survey core questions. Figure 1 illustrates the split sample study design. Figure 1. Randomized Split Sample Design The CG-Visit Survey (adult version) is a 37-item questionnaire that assesses the patient s experience of care in three composite domains: Access, Communication, and Office Staff. The CG-Visit Survey also includes individual items for Provider Rating, Office Recommendation, and Follow-up on Test Results. The Access composite consists of 5 core questions that ask the patient to report on their experience in the last 12 months. The communication (6 core questions) and 4

5 office staff (2 core questions) composites ask patients to report on their experience during their most recent visit. (See Appendix A for further detail on the CG-Visit questionnaire.) The CG-PCMH Survey (adult version) is a 52-item questionnaire based on the 12-month version of CG-CAHPS. In addition to the core Access, Communication, and Office Staff composites, the CG-PCMH survey includes supplemental items sets assessing coordination of care, shared decision-making, comprehensiveness, and self management. The Access composite measure is the same for both the CG-Visit and the CG-PCMH surveys. Both surveys also include the same core individual item for Provider Rating. The Communication and Office Staff composites as well as an individual core item on Follow-up on Test Results have similar items but ask about a different timeframe (i.e. last 12 months vs most recent visit). The CG-Visit survey also has an additional core item for Office Recommendation. For purposes of this study, the CG-PCMH survey was modified to include the core Communication and Office Staff composite questions from the CG-Visit version, as well as the individual items for Office Recommendation and Follow-up on Test Results. These additional CG-Visit core questions were added as supplemental items at the end of the survey. The modified version had a total of 66 questions. MDH contracted with NRC Picker through a competitive bidding process to conduct all sampling and data collection for the study. The sample frame for the study consisted of adult (age 18 or over) English-speaking, primary care patients who had at least one visit to the clinic site in the previous twelve months. Primary care was defined to include visits by patients to family practice and internal medicine, including Med-Peds (Combined Internal Medicine & Pediatrics) providers. Samples were drawn from patient data files provided by the clinic sites. The sample was drawn irrespective of either the reason for the visit or the duration of the patient/provider relationship so that the full range of patients was represented. In order to achieve the target of 250 completed surveys for each of the two study arms within the site, samples of 1,250 patients for each of the two study arms were drawn at the site level for each participating clinic for a total of 2,500 patients sampled at each of the 6 clinics. Data were collected using a standard two-wave mailing methodology consisting of an initial mailing followed by a second mailing to non-respondents approximately three weeks after the first questionnaire was sent. The field period for the study was initiated in early May 2012 and was closed at the end of June Data collected for the study were provided to members of the CAHPS Consortium (the authors) for analysis. Results from the two surveys collected from both sample arms were compared at the site level and overall to assess equivalency with respect to response rates, respondent characteristics, item scores, item reliability, and site-level reliability. Any differences between the arms also were assessed to determine the impact on the overall ranking of the practice site. Survey results were analyzed as both mean and top box scores. Mean scores are reported as the numerical average of a given response scale after converting response categories to a number, as shown in Table 4. For all mean scores, a higher number is better. Top box scores refer to the percentage of respondents choosing the most positive response category in a given response scale. Higher top box scores are better. The exact question wording for each rating and composite measure can be found in Appendix A. 5

Adjusted scores were obtained using a hierarchical regression model that accounts for patient characteristics and unmeasured clinic-level survey invariant factors. Because it allows for the possibility that there are small differences in patient populations across survey type, the adjusted ratings provide a more rigorous estimate of the magnitude of the survey effect for each item. The associated t-statistics and p-values quantify the level of statistical evidence that the true difference is non-zero. The adjusted mean is the expected mean for a baseline patient and so represents the mean outcomes for an item one would expect if the same patient counterfactually answered both surveys. Results Response Rates Table 2 shows individual clinic site-level responses as well as totals for the two survey versions. Response rates for the two surveys were similar, with the CG-Visit survey receiving an average of close to a 33% unit response rate (i.e., 33% of individuals returned at least a partially complete survey) and the CG-PCMH survey just over 29%. For all clinic sites, the average response rate for the CG-Visit survey was higher than the average response rate for the CG-PCMH survey. In some sites, the response rate for the CG-PCMH Survey was significantly lower than the CG-Visit where in other sites the response rates were similar. These findings suggest that surveys of even considerable length (n = 66 questions) are able to achieve response rates comparable to shorter surveys. 6

Table 3 compares key characteristics of survey respondents across all 6 sites. The comparison indicates that patients surveyed with the two survey versions were strikingly similar with respect to gender, race, age, education, and self-reported physical and mental health status. Significance testing found no differences (p >.10 for all comparisons). Table 3.

The objective is to assess whether the constituent items belong to a given composite (indicated by a high correlation). We compared the results between surveys to assess whether the composite items hold together equally well on each. Almost all correlations are 0.7 or higher implying that they do. Table 4.

For most of these measures, reliabilities based on mean scoring are close to or exceed the.70 threshold generally recommended for public reporting of CAHPS results (assuming 250 completed surveys at the clinic site level). As expected, reliabilities are consistently lower when using top-box scoring as opposed to mean scoring. However, reliability estimates will likely improve when more clinics are included. Table 5.

10 Given that the patient characteristics of the samples drawn for both surveys are the same, and that overall response rates are quite similar, the scores obtained using the two surveys can be fairly compared even without adjusting for individual characteristics to determine if the CG-Visit rating and composite measures used in both surveys yield equivalent results. Tables 6 and 7 present comparisons of unadjusted to adjusted scores for the CG-Visit rating and composite measures for both mean and top-box results, respectively. Table 6.

Comparison of Top Box Scores Measure N Unadjusted CG- CG-Visit PCMH CG-Visit Adjusted CG- PCMH p-value Rating questions RateDoc RecDoc Composites Access Communication OffStaff Two important findings emerge from the comparisons shown in Tables 6 and 7: First, no significant differences are found when comparing the rating questions, implying that there is no evidence of any difference for these measures due to the surveys. Second, although small in magnitude, there are significant differences for the composite items in both unadjusted comparisons and adjusted comparisons based on the hierarchical model. In all cases, the mean and top box scores for CG-PCMH composites are consistently lower than the CG-Visit survey composite scores. 10

11 Impact on Clinic Rankings Given the small but significant differences in composite results between the two surveys, we also examined the impact of survey version on clinic rankings. Each clinic was assigned a ranking from highest (=1) to lowest (=6) across the two surveys. The concordance of the results (using both mean scoring and top-box scoring) between the surveys was calculated using the Kendall correlation coefficient. Unlike the Pearson correlation, which uses the actual means and thus is susceptible to outliers, the Kendall correlation coefficient is based on the clinic ranks. Coefficients closer to +1 indicate a high degree of concordance in the rankings of the clinics. Table 9 shows the Kendall correlation coefficients. Table 9. Kendall Correlation of Clinic Rankings Mean Scores Top Box Scores Measure Kendall Kendall RateDoc RecDoc Access composite Communication composite Staff composite The results for the Provider Rating, Access and Communication composites indicate positive concordance of clinic rankings. In other words, the ranking of the clinics based on the CG- PCMH were similar to those rankings based on the CG-Visit. However, the results for the Provider Recommendation and the Office Staff composite measure indicate that clinic rankings change based on the survey version used. This finding has significant implications for public reporting. Discussion and Recommendations When patients respond to the same Access, Communication, and Office Staff questions on the shorter CG-Visit survey, their mean and top box responses are consistently higher than when similar patients respond using the longer CG-PCMH survey modified to include the core Visit survey items. Although the differences are statistically significant (p<.05), the absolute difference in scores for the composite measures is not large -- approximately.02 points on average between the two surveys. Differences that are statistically significant are not surprising given the large number of surveys analyzed in this study. Perhaps the most compelling observation is that, while not large in magnitude, the differences are so consistent in the same direction. Interestingly, there is no difference in responses between the two surveys to the Rating and Recommend questions. Such small differences in the composite measures are not likely to be material, but they may matter to a clinic concerned about getting slightly lower scores on average by using CG-PCMH survey with the core Visit questions added as supplemental items. In most cases the difference is not likely to substantially affect rank order, but it is possible that it could in some cases, and that 11

12 might matter to the affected clinics. The reasons why the CG-PCMH plus Visit survey scores are lower are not known, but this finding is consistent with the survey literature suggesting that adding extra similar questions to the end of a survey results in lower scores for those questions. Cognitive testing by the CAHPS Consortium suggests that lower scores may be due to respondent fatigue and/or frustration at having to answer similar questions twice. The initial decision by the State of Minnesota to use the CG-Visit Survey for public reporting was based largely on the fact that most practices were currently using a visit-based survey for their own internal surveying efforts. Some medical groups had even adopted the CG-Visit version as their routine internal survey. The State sought to minimize the burden to practices. However, over the past several years since that decision was made, other stakeholders, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), have chosen CG-CAHPS versions based on the 12-month core survey (e.g., the PCMH version). Psychometric analyses show that the CG-PCMH Survey performs better than the CG- Visit Survey at differentiating between practices. Given the high stakes nature of public reporting, we recommend the most prudent course for the State might be to require the same survey for all primary care clinics and that survey should be the CG-PCMH survey (without the Visit items added). This would satisfy the MDH health care homes objective, and also help clinics meet other evolving national reporting requirements. 12
