Basic Information

Abbreviated name
PCAS
Full name
Primary Care Assessment Survey (PCAS)
PCCC or QoL? ?
This compendium contains patient-reported measures that are either designed to specifically measure aspects of Person Centred Co-Ordinated Care (P3C), or alternatively tools that are designed to measure some aspect of Quality of Life (QoL) or Health Related Quality of Life (hrQoL). All the measures in this compendium have been broadly categorised into one of those two concepts.
Person Centred Coordinated Care
Main Domains Measured ?
This is the key domains that the measure is targeting.
Interpersonal communication
Type of measure ?
The measures in this compendium can take a variety of forms. Generally, they will be either Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) or Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM). However, we have also included a few measures that are completed by proxy-individual (PROXY), which are useful in instances where the respondent cannot answer directly (e.g. dementia or end of life). Sometimes, these measures can even be a composite of these types, and target both experiences and outcomes – we have labelled these measures “PROEMs”.
Respondent ?
The person that fills in the questionnaire - e.g. patient, Health Care Professional, or proxy (normally a carer or family member)

Brief description ?
A brief description of the initially reported psychometric properties of the measure.
Internal consistency: Cronbachs alpha ranging from .81 to .95 Assessment of data completeness, scale score dispersion characteristics, and interscale correlations provide strong evidence for the soundness of all scales, and for the value of separately measuring and interpreting these concepts. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16423118 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9596063
