Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the quality of primary healthcare institutions entrusted to private hospitals as seen by the consumers. Methods The vertical integrated model between Renhe Hospital and Lixian township health center was selected as the case study. Consumer survey data of both November 2016 and September 2017 were collected by using Primary Care Assessment Tool(PCAT) (n=376). Stata 14.0 and Excel 2013 were used for descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. Results Scoring in such key domains as continuity, comprehensiveness and coordination, and the derivative domains was higher in 2017 than those of 2016. And the differences were significant except for the domain of continuity and coordination (referral). PACT total score in 2017 was 21.28,higher than 19.83 in 2016 and the difference was significant(P<0.01). Conclusions Under the vertical integrated model between Renhe and Lixian, the quality of primary healthcare institutions was improving from 2016 to 2017 from the perspective of consumers. First contact (accessibility), comprehensiveness (services availability) and community orientation of primary healthcare institutions need to be strengthened in the future.
