folder_openChanges to Survey Materialscalendar_todayPosted February 5, 2016

The HHCAHPS Coordination Team has corrected Appendix B, page B-5, of the HHCAHPS Protocols and Guidelines Manual Version 8.0 so that the field length of each of the ICD-10 "Primary Diagnosis" and “Other diagnosis” data elements is now correctly displayed as "7" rather than "5," as was previously displayed.

This correction has been made to the PDF and MS Word versions of the HHCAHPS Protocols and Guidelines Manuals that are posted on the Survey Materials page. These are linked here:

Please note that no changes were made to the XML appendices, as these already had the correct field length for these data elements.

Please contact the HHCAHPS Survey Coordination Team if you have any questions at hhcahps@rti.org or telephone (866) 354-0985.
