34 V CHRISTIANA CARE HEALTH SYSTEM VALUE INSTITUTE iround HCAHPS Data Analysis The project was designed to answer two questions: Does exposure to iround impact HCAHPS scores? Does exposure to iround impact the likelihood that a patient will return their HCAHPS scores?

35 Summary of Available Data C7E, C6A and C3D participated in a pilot collecting FIN numbers for each iround patient from 12/4/2014 to 12/23/2014 1,071 total rounds were attempted on 442 unique patients 279 patients (63%) received at least one round with iround 163 patients (36%) did not receive a round with iround 47 patients (11%) in our pilot returned HCAHPS surveys 41 patients (87%) received one round with iround V CHRISTIANA CARE HEALTH SYSTEM VALUE INSTITUTE 6 patients (13%) did not receive a round with iround

36 Does exposure to iround impact HCAHPS scores? Exposure to iround (at least one completed / roundable = yes during a visit) significantly improves how our patients score the questions Rate Hospital 0-10 (p=0.028) Recommend hospital (p=0.008) Nurses listen (p=0.027) iround does not appear to significantly impact how patients score V CHRISTIANA CARE HEALTH SYSTEM VALUE INSTITUTE Nurses treat w/courtesy (p=0.263)

37 How does exposure to iround impact the likelihood to return a survey? We observed a highly significant (p<0.001) difference in response rates between patients who experienced at least one round with iround and those who did not 14.69% response rate from patients who received at least one round with iround 3.68% response rate from patients who did not receive a round with iround during their stay Patients exposed to at least one round with iround during their visit were FOUR TIMES more likely to return an HCAHPS survey than patients who did not receive a round with iround.
