description The National Academy of Medicine’s (NAM) vision for 21st-century health care underscored the need for increased patient engagement and charged health-care researchers to develop tools to evaluate patient experience. The most widely studied patient experience tools are the Consumer Assessments of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys. The Clinician and Group (CG)-CAHPS survey is the preferred patient experience survey for primary care, and thus a systematic review of patient reports from the CG-CAHPS empirical literature is ideal to appreciate the voice of health-care consumers. This systematic review revealed patient subjective reports regarding the acceptability of health-care delivery models, the effectiveness of interventions, the timeliness of care in different practice climates, and their responses to quality improvement initiatives. The synthesized results inform clinicians, organizations, and the health-care system where to prioritize and how to adapt services to efficiently provide equitable care, achieving the NAM’s vision for a patient-centered US health-care system.
