A next-day, brief e-survey overcomes the excessive variability seen in CAHPS-style emergency department surveys so that individual physician performance can be assessed on a regular basis

Traditional CAHPS-style emergency department (ED) surveys result in excessive variability when assessing individual physician performance. The objective of this study is to measure the variability of a brief, electronic survey (e-survey). The study team also measured the association of individual ph...
