HCAHPS Pain Management Questions
Beginning with patients discharged in January 2018, CMS replaced the current Pain Management questions (items 12, 13 and 14 on the HCAHPS Survey) with three new questions that will comprise a new composite measure, “Communication About Pain.”
The new pain items will be required on all surveys administered to patients discharged from January 1, 2018 and forward. This change will affect all survey translations and all survey modes. The official versions of the new Pain Management items for all survey modes and in all language translations have been posted.
Please note that the current pain questions must be used for all patients discharged before January 1, 2018. Click
