Development of a psychometrically valid and reliable measure of primary care providers' willingness to engage with value based payments and innovations in care coordination.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most approaches to healthcare reform envision an enhanced role for primary care providers, supported by innovative payment methodology and improved resources. However, there are currently no instruments to measure providers' ability and willingness to work with existing tools provided by payers, such as Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). In this study, we develop and psychometrically test a new instrument to measure provider engagement with ACOs.

Methodology/ approach

The instrument was developed based on a self-efficacy theory of the adoption of innovations. We hypothesized two underlying constructs: Ease of Use ("Ease") and Perceived Usefulness ("Usefulness"). Constructs were tested using confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was assessed with Cronbach's
