Abstract:
In Poland, there is a niche that can be filled with original research in the area of performance indicators of individual health care professionals.
Aim:
The aim of the study was the empirical verification of original effectiveness indicators and the identification of the degree of patient care effectiveness of selected primary health care professionals with the application of the developed indicators.
Materials And Methods:
The study population consisted of physicians employed in the primary care in Medical and Diagnostic Centre (MDC) in Siedlce, Poland. The final study sample consisted of 29 respondents. 14 original indicators in three areas: structure, process and effect were developed and verified.
Results:
The distribution of indicator values for the physicians included in the study demonstrated a diverse level of their effectiveness. The factor analysis performed for the 14 original indicators demonstrated that a highly reliable scale can be created out of 5 of the original indicators.
Conclusions:
In our pilot study we assessed the reliability of the designed tools. However, unfortunately, our research did not offer the opportunity to identify any dependencies of variables. A study on a larger sample of physicians would therefore be needed.
