Physician organizations voluntarily participate in CAPG's Standards of Excellence™ survey.

The survey ratings, which assess medical group performance in six rigorous categories, help consumers evaluate a physician group's technical quality, patient experience and affordability.
"Our Standards of Excellence™ survey is recognized as the industry standard by which the nation's healthcare systems can assess the delivery of accountable and value-based care and improve patient care coordination, in line with the nation's movement towards alternative payment models," said Donald Crane, CAPG President and CEO.
