The authors examine determinants of satisfaction with medical care among 1,784 (781 African American and 1,003 white) cardiac patients. Patient satisfaction was modeled as a function of predisposing factors (gender, age, medical mistrust, and perception of racism) and enabling factors (medical insurance). African Americans reported less satisfaction with care. Although both black and whit...... hiện toàn bộ
Patient-Centered Care and Outcomes
Tập 70 Số 4 - Trang 351-379 - 2013
Cheryl Rathert, Mary D. Wyrwich, Suzanne Austin Boren
Patient-centered care (PCC) has been studied for several decades. Yet a clear definition of PCC is lacking, as is an understanding of how specific PCC processes relate to patient outcomes. We conducted a systematic review of the PCC literature to examine the evidence for PCC and outcomes. Three databases were searched for all years through September 2012. We retained 40 articles for the a...... hiện toàn bộ
Measuring Patients’ Trust in their Primary Care Providers

Mark A. Hall, Beiyao Zheng, Elizabeth Dugan, Fabian Camacho, Kristin E. Kidd, Aneil K. Mishra, Rajesh Balkrishnan
Existing scales to measure trust in physicians have differing content and limited testing. To improve on these measures, a large item pool (n = 78) was generated following a detailed conceptual model and expert review. After pilot testing, the best-performing items were validated with a random national sample (n = 9) and a regional sample of HMO members (n = 99). Various psychometric test...... hiện toàn bộ
Limited English Proficiency and Latinos’ Use of Physician Services
Tập 57 Số 1 - Trang 76-91 - 2000
Kathryn Pitkin Derose, David W. Baker
Many Latinos have limited English proficiency and this may negatively affect their use of health care services. To examine this, the authors interviewed 465 Spanish-speaking Latinos and 259 English speakers of various ethnicities who presented to a public hospital emergency department with nonurgent medical problems to assess previous physician visits, sociodemographic characteristics, an...... hiện toàn bộ

Tập 67 Số 5 - Trang 503-527 - 2010
Kitty S. Chan, Jinnet B. Fowles, Jonathan P. Weiner
Previous reviews of research on electronic health record (EHR) data quality have not focused on the needs of quality measurement. The authors reviewed empirical studies of EHR data quality, published from January 2004, with an emphasis on data attributes relevant to quality measurement. Many of the 35 studies reviewed examined multiple aspects of data quality. Sixty-six percent evaluated ...... hiện toàn bộ

Tập 57 Số 1_suppl - Trang 218-235 - 2000

To assess the public’s perceptions and attitudes about racial and ethnic differences in health care, the Kaiser Family Foundation surveyed a nationally representative sample of 3,884 whites, African Americans, and Latinos in 1999. The survey found that the majority of Americans are uninformed about health care disparities—many were unaware that blacks fare worse than whites on measures su...... hiện toàn bộ

The authors examined health care coverage for Veterans' Health Administration (VHA) enrollees and how their reliance on VHA care varies by coverage, using the largest and most detailed survey of veterans using VHA services ever conducted. The results showed that a majority of veterans who use VHA services have alternative health care coverage and that most of them use both VHA and non-VHA...... hiện toàn bộ
Understanding Patient Satisfaction, Trust, and Loyalty to Primary Care Physicians
Tập 65 Số 6 - Trang 696-712 - 2008
Elena A. Platonova, Karen Norman Kennedy, Richard M. Shewchuk
The authors developed and empirically tested a model reflecting a system of interrelations among patient loyalty, trust, and satisfaction as they are related to patients' intentions to stay with a primary care physician (PCP) and recommend the doctor to other people. They used a structural equation modeling approach. The fit statistics indicate a well-fitting model: root mean square error...... hiện toàn bộ
