Picker Universal

Are you ready for value-based purchasing?

You know value-based purchasing is tied directly to your organization’s publicly reported HCAHPS scores, and that your Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements are on the line.

We know you need a partner equally focused on measuring and improving these scores.

NRC Picker can help.

Our solution to value-based purchasing, Picker Universal, measures the patient, employee and physician experience with the same CAHPS-aligned tool. With everything under one umbrella, you’ll get consistency across the entire care continuum and be equipped for organization-wide improvement.
