Do Primary Care Patient Experiences Vary by Teaching versus Nonteaching Facility?

Abstract

Results: Approximately 70% of participants were female and >40% were Latino. The adjusted mean score for patient-reported access at teaching sites was 4.35; at nonteaching sites it was 5.14 (P ‫؍‬ .01). The total mean score for chronic disease was 4.02 for teaching sites and 3.79 for nonteaching sites (P ‫؍‬ .01).

Investigating Patient-Centered Care

“…8 It is well known that teaching sites care for more people who are minorities, less well educated, and either covered by Medicaid or uninsured-facts reinforced in this report. Less well known, however, is that the teaching sites had worse access scores yet better chronic disease management, including many characteristics considered patient-centered (such as patient activation, problem solving, and care coordination).…”

Differences between Proxy and Patient Assessments of Cancer Care Experiences and Quality Ratings

“…To this end, we employed the single imputation “half‐scale rule” (Carvajal et al. ) and complete case analysis. The “half‐scale rule,” which has been used in some CAHPS analyses, calculates the scale with available completed items for respondents who are missing less than half of the items on a scale (Fayers and Machin ).…”

“…Finally, as multiple imputation is not always used in surveys, we assessed whether our findings were similar under other commonly used approaches for missing outcome data. To this end, we employed the single imputation "half-scale rule" (Carvajal et al 2014) and complete case analysis. The "half-scale rule," which has been used in some CAHPS analyses, calculates the scale with available completed items for respondents who are missing less than half of the items on a scale (Fayers and Machin 2007).…”
