Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) and improved patient-centered outcomes for chronic conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) has potential for use as a patient-centered measure of the implementation of the Chronic Care Model (CCM), but there is little research on the relationship between the PACIC and important behavioral and quality measures for patients with chronic conditions.

Objective

To examine the relationship between PACIC scores and self-management behaviors, patient rating of their health care, and self-reported quality of life.

Design

Cross-sectional survey with a 61% response rate.

Participants

Included in the survey were 4,108 adults with diabetes, chronic pain, heart failure, asthma, or coronary artery disease in the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care program across 7 regions nationally.
