Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality March 4, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (Nd), is soliciting voluntary submission of survey instruments and items, which ask adult survey respondents to assess the care delivered by cancer care providers. AHRQ is seeking these items and measures from researchers, survey firms, cancer care providers, patient advocacy groups, individual cancer patients, and other stakeholders who are interested in the development of survey measures of patient experiences of cancer care. To be as inclusive as possible, AHRQ is requesting such instruments and individual items, along with any available documentation of their validity and reliability and descriptions of survey methods for using them.
