Doctor-Patient Communication Is Critically Important to Patients.
• Good communication skills are among the qualities most desired • Doctor listens to patient concerns,• Doctor explains health problems clearly,.
• Effective communication is key to positive patient-doctor relationships.
• Patient reports about communication are strongly associated with global ratings .

Communication Measures used to Improve Patient Experience.
• Quality improvement.
• Element of pay-for-performance systems
• Recognition as a patient-centered medical home.

CAHPS Surveys Address Communication from Patient Perspective.
• During CAHPS development, consumers identify important aspects of care.
• Patients are the best or only source of information for most measures.
• Clinician and Group (CG) CAHPS topics include.• doctor-patient communication.• access.• coordination of care.• courtesy and helpfulness of office staff.• overall rating of doctor.

Physicians Have InvaluablePerspective on Communication Items.
• As CAHPS stakeholders, physicians are consulted during CAHPS survey development.
• But physicians are not interviewed about best practices related to communication.

We Asked High-Performing Physicians… ,
How well do the CAHPS survey items capture
the important elements of
doctor-patient communication?
![Page 10: 1. Confirming and Supplementing CAHPS® Communication Items Using Feedback from High-Performing Physicians. Ron D. Hays, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de85503460f94ae2a92/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Existing Collaboration with Health Plan Facilitated Exploratory Study.
Health plan.
• Has 72,000 adult, commercial HMO members.
• Administers CAHPS clinician-group survey annually (2005-2012).
• Uses CAHPS for P4P, Q.I., and reporting.
• Was interested in physician perspective.
• Gave us physician-level CAHPS data and contact information.
• Permitted us to contact their physicians.
![Page 11: 1. Confirming and Supplementing CAHPS® Communication Items Using Feedback from High-Performing Physicians. Ron D. Hays, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de85503460f94ae2a92/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11.
High-Performing Physicians on CAHPS were Identified
• 2008 CAHPS data. • 20,141 patients among 259 primary care
physicians (46% response rate).
• Calculated overall z-score (0-100 score). • Average of CAHPS composites (access,
communication, office staff) and global rating of physician.
• Rank ordered the 259 doctors by z-score.
![Page 12: 1. Confirming and Supplementing CAHPS® Communication Items Using Feedback from High-Performing Physicians. Ron D. Hays, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de85503460f94ae2a92/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12.
Physician Interviews.
• Contacted the 40 highest-ranked doctors; interviewed 11 physicians who were willing.
• Used a semi-structured, open-ended protocol with 36 questions.• Basic information about practice. • Philosophy of providing good care.• Communication behaviors during patient
visits.• Office practices related to communication.
• Taped and transcribed interviews.
![Page 13: 1. Confirming and Supplementing CAHPS® Communication Items Using Feedback from High-Performing Physicians. Ron D. Hays, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de85503460f94ae2a92/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13.
Themes Coded… ,
• Coded the content of the interviews for important themes.
• Created unique counts of codes per physicians; found 16 themes.
• Two researchers independently coded the presence or absence of each of the 16 themes.• Calculated a pooled kappa to assess
inter-rater agreement for 16 themes (0.72).
![Page 14: 1. Confirming and Supplementing CAHPS® Communication Items Using Feedback from High-Performing Physicians. Ron D. Hays, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de85503460f94ae2a92/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Core CAHPS items.• Doctor-patient communication.
• Supplemental CAHPS items.• Health information and promotion. • Shared decision-making. • Patient-centered medical home items. • Cultural competence. • Health literacy. • Health information technology.

Summary of Findings.
• CAHPS survey items capture many of the communication behaviors most frequently mentioned by high performing physicians.
• Three aspects of communication are not captured by current CAHPS items.• Non-verbal communication.• Greeting the patient.• Tracking personal information about the
patient.
![Page 21: 1. Confirming and Supplementing CAHPS® Communication Items Using Feedback from High-Performing Physicians. Ron D. Hays, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56649de85503460f94ae2a92/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21.
Possible Next Steps
• Testing and developing additional patient experience-of-care measures• Nonverbal communication• Physician greeting and introducing self to
patient and family• Physician tracking of personal information
about patient
• Further research is important to understand additional value and association with other patient experience measures
