Measuring and Improving Coproduction Using coopeRATE

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center280 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to identify new methods of measuring and improving collaborative goal setting between patients and clinicians in adult cystic fibrosis care.

This study has 3 specific aims: Aim 1 will assess the construct validity of the coopeRATE Measure in the before phase of a before-and-after study in adult cystic fibrosis care settings. The coopeRATE Measure is a generic, patient-reported experience measure of collaborative goal setting that was recently developed in consultation with patients and other key stakeholders. Aim 2 will assess the impact of the coopeRATE Prompt intervention on collaborative goal setting and other outcomes in a before-and-after study in adult cystic fibrosis care settings. The coopeRATE Prompt intervention is a set of questions delivered to patients immediately before the clinical encounter that elicit their concerns and goals. Aim 3 will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the coopeRATE Prompt and Measure in routine adult cystic fibrosis care.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Collaborative goal setting

A new 3-item patient-reported measure under evaluation to assess collaborative goal setting between a patient and their clinician during the health care visit. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 ('Strongly disagree') to 3 ('Strongly agree'), with an additional 'Not sure' option. Scoring method is to be determined.

Time frame: Immediately after the health care visit (Day 0)

Secondary Outcomes

Shared decision-making

Patient-reported shared decision-making during the health care visit, assessed using the 3-item collaboRATE measure (Elwyn et al., 2013; Barr et al., 2014). Each item is rated on a 10-point scale ranging from 0 ('No effort was made') to 9 ('Every effort was made'). Respondent's are assigned a score of 1 if every item is rated 'Every effort was made' and a score of 0 for all other response combinations.

Time frame: Immediately after the health care visit (Day 0)

Interpersonal and communication skills

Patient-reported interpersonal and communication skills of their clinician during the health care visit, assessed using a 14-item version of the Communication Assessment Tool (CAT) (Makoul, Krupat, \& Chang, 2007). Each item is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 ('Poor') to 5 ('Excellent'). A respondent's total scale score is the percentage of items rated as 'Excellent'.

Time frame: Immediately after the health care visit (Day 0)

Self-efficacy to manage chronic disease

Patient-reported self-efficacy for managing their chronic disease immediately following the health care visit, assessed using an adapted version of the 6-item Self-Efficacy to Manage Chronic Disease Scale (Ritter \& Lorig, 2014). Each item is rated on a 10-point scale ranging from 1 ('Not at all confident') to 10 ('Totally confident'). A respondent's total score is the mean of all item responses.

Time frame: Immediately after the health care visit (Day 0)
