Hospitals can use the HCAHPS survey alone, or include additional questions after the core HCAHPS items. Hospitals must survey patients throughout each month of the year. The survey is available in official English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Vietnamese versions.ith these goals in mind, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the HCAHPS Project Team have taken substantial steps to assure that the survey is credible, useful, and practical.
Q. How many hours should I run my filter? A. We recommend a minimum of 8 to 12 HOURS of filtration time per day, everyday that the pool is open & the water temperature is in excess of 70 degrees F. To make life a little easier, put a timer on the filter so you don't forget. You MUST run the filter DAILY!
A proactive, productive and energy-saving maintenance activity is to remove the debris floating on the pool surface with a hand-held skimmer. One way to keep control of the time you run the swimming pool pump is to run it several times a day for short periods of time. If you want to activate the pump once a day, start with six hours, but never go lower than five hours, especially in the summer. If your pool is in constant use, you may need to run the pump for up to eight hours per day, frequently checking the water clarity and chemical balance. Using a smaller pump for fewer hours per day is effective and will drastically reduce your electricity bill.
