Coordinated care significantly improved patient experiences, particularly in care coordination and physician time, six months post-implementation. The JOP-POP tool effectively measured these patient-reported experience measures (PREMs).
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Patient Experience Measurement
- Integrated Health Systems
Background:
- Integrated health services ensure a continuum of care across the life course, encompassing promotion, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, management, rehabilitation, and palliative care.
- Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) objectively assess patient experiences with healthcare services, such as timeliness and recommendations.
- Assessing patient perspectives is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of integrated and coordinated care implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate patient-experienced coordinated care (PREMs) before and after the introduction of a coordinated care program.
- To utilize the JOP-POP tool as a key measure for assessing patient experiences with coordinated care.
- To identify specific areas of improvement in patient care following the implementation of coordinated care.
Main Methods:
- A longitudinal study conducted in two stages, with data collected before and six months after joining a coordinated care program.
- Inclusion of 40 patients at each study stage.
- Statistical analysis using Shapiro-Wilk test, Wilcoxon test for paired samples, Mann-Whitney test, and Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA by ranks.
Main Results:
- A statistically significant relationship was found between the number of chronic diseases and health status assessment prior to coordinated care (p = 0.00157).
- Patients reported statistically significant improvements in their experiences six months after coordinated care implementation.
- Improvements were noted in physician time spent with patients, with the greatest gains in care coordination and the smallest in patient approach.
Conclusions:
- The JOP-POP tool demonstrated utility in assessing patient experiences with coordinated care implementation.
- Coordinated care programs can lead to measurable improvements in patient-reported experiences.
- Further research using the JOP-POP tool is recommended for evaluating coordinated care effectiveness.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
