1.Assessment of primary care orientation of the residency training programs under PAFP using the PCAT provider survey
The Filipino Family Physician 2011;49(2):61-68
Background: A primary care-based health care system has the potential to make the health system more efficient. The high hospitalization rate for diseases that can be treated in an outpatient setting in areas where there is low access to primary care physicians leads to higher cost of care.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the primary care orientation of the different family and community medicine training programs in Manila.
Methods: This was a self-administered questionnaire survey using the primary care assessment tool provider survey (PCAT-PS) conducted on resident physicians undergoing training in family medicine in the different hospitals in Manila. Based on the PCAT scoring, we used a cut-off score of 3.5 as the desirable level of orientation.
Results: A total of 24 residents from 8 hospitals responded to the questionnaire. A significant percentage of patients are being seen in their clinic over a period of 1-4 years. Majority of the patients they see are those aged 20 years old or more. Of all the 9 domains, the programs had very good scores in coordination of care, information system, family-centeredness and cultural competence. However, improvement is needed for services that are available, services being provided, ongoing care and community orientation. In terms of the overall primary care score for the core indicators, the training programs in family medicine did not reach the target mean score of 3.5. However, when the other domains were added the overall mean primary care score with the expanded domains had a mean of 3.55. This suggests that the current training programs in the Manila are strong in their family-centeredness and their cultural competence.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our training programs may be improved to be more primary care oriented. We need to be patient-centered by asking our patients and determine what health service they need and want. Then we need to train our residents in providing these services, with greater exposure to outpatient rotations and community clinics.
