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!
1 Install a timer on your pool pump and run only as long as necessary each day to keep the water clean. In general, run your pool pump eight to 12 hours during the summer. During the winter, only six to eight hours are necessary.  Clean strainer baskets and filters regularly to help your pool pump run more efficiently.
