However, little is known about the relationship between care continuity and coordination. This study aimed to differentiate the concepts of care continuity and coordination by developing and testing the reliability and validity of the Combined Outpatient Care Continuity and Coordination Assessment (COCCCA) questionnaire under the universal coverage health care system in Taiwan from a patient perspective. Methods: Face-to-face interviews were conducted nationwide with communitydwelling older adults selected via stratified multistage systematic sampling with probability-proportional-to-size process. A total of 2,144 subjects completed the questionnaire, with a response rate of 44.67%. Results: The 16 items of the COCCCA questionnaire were identified via item analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA generated five dimensions: three continuity-oriented (interpersonal, information sharing and longitudinal between patients and physicians) and two coordination-oriented (information exchange and communication/cooperation among multiple physicians). The second-order confirmatory factor analysis supported the factor structure and indicated that distinct constructs of care continuity and coordination can be identified. Conclusion: The COCCCA instrument can differentiate the concepts of care continuity and care coordination and has been demonstrated to be valid and reliable in outpatient care settings from a patient perspective. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
