New Tool! 2026 HHCAHPS Measure Updates 

Written By Annette Lee

We're back with another new tool for our Home Health partners. This 2026 HHCAHPS Update Tool provides a side-by-side comparison of the mandatory changes coming to the patient experience survey, highlighting exactly which questions are being added, removed, or revised. It is incredibly helpful for home health teams because it identifies new focus areas—like whether staff "cared about you as a person"—and clarifies which "Specific Care Issues" are moving to standalone reporting. By using this guide, you can proactively update your patient education and staff training to align with the new 2026 standards.
