Nexus partners with Survey Information Systems for OAS CAHPS Survey Offering

Nexus Health Resources and SIS Launch SIS Surveys for OAS CAHPS Compliance
Middletown, NY – December 2, 2024 – Surgical Information Systems (SIS), a leader in business and clinical surgical software for hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), has announced the launch of SIS Surveys in partnership with Nexus Health Resources. This new offering is designed to help ASCs and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) meet the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements for the Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (OAS CAHPS) survey.

Starting in 2025, Medicare-certified ASCs must implement the OAS CAHPS survey to avoid reduced Medicare reimbursement rates, a requirement HOPDs have been subject to since early 2024. The survey captures valuable patient feedback on their care experiences, providing critical data for quality improvement initiatives and enabling consumers to make informed choices about outpatient care facilities.

As a CMS-certified OAS CAHPS survey vendor, Nexus Health Resources will oversee survey management, administration, and reporting for SIS Surveys clients. “Many facilities have yet to select an OAS CAHPS vendor,” said Virginia Feldman, CEO of Nexus Health Resources. “We’re excited to collaborate with SIS to offer the SIS Surveys package—an easy-to-implement solution for both new centers and those transitioning from other vendors.”

SIS has integrated its business management platforms, including SIS Office™, AdvantX®, Vision™, and SurgiSource™, with Nexus Health’s survey solutions. This automated connection streamlines the process by eliminating the need for manual data collection and transfer, allowing ASCs and HOPDs to effortlessly provide the required case data for surveys.

“Nexus Health’s survey approach will be well received by SIS clients looking for a cost-effective survey vendor that is integrated into SIS solutions,” says SIS CEO Tom Stampiglia. “Nexus Health’s survey delivery focus on web and web with phone follow-up delivers that personal touch that many of our surgery centers will appreciate.”

SIS Surveys represents a seamless integration of industry-leading technology and expert survey management, empowering outpatient facilities to meet CMS requirements while enhancing patient satisfaction insights.
