The "Patient-centered coordination by a care team" questionnaire achieves satisfactory validity and reliability. J Interprof Care. 2018 Dec 17;:1-12 Authors: Ramond-Roquin A, Stewart M, Ryan BL, Richards M, Sussman J, Brown JB, Bouhali T, Bestard-Denommé L, Fortin M Abstract Increasing prevalence of chronic conditions and multimorbidity challenges health care systems and calls for patient-centered coordination of care. Implementation and evaluation of health policies focusing on the development of patient-centered coordination of care needs valid instruments measuring this dimension of care.

PCCCT provides a total score from 0 (worst coordination) to 42 (best coordination). 165 adult patients consulting in primary care with one or more chronic condition(s) completed questionnaires (including PCCCT) at recruitment. After three weeks, participants completed PCCCT again, either by mail (group A) or during a telephone interview (group B). At recruitment, the mean (SD) PCCCT score was 33.3 (7.7). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 2-dimension structure, 8 items relating to patient involvement and 6 items relating to coordination (factors loadings ranging from 0.34 to 0.88). PCCCT score correlated significantly with subscales of Hag...
