The PCCC is a four-item patient-reported outcome performance measure (PRO-PM) designed to assess the patient-centeredness of contraceptive counseling at the individual clinician/provider and facility levels of analysis. Patient-centeredness is an important component in all areas of health care, and is uniquely critical in the personal and intimate process of contraceptive decision-making.
The Person-Centered Primary Care Measure instrument is an 11-item patient reported assessment of primary care. Patients complete the PCPCM instrument once a year. These instruments are used to calculate a performance score for the participating entity. That entity could be an individual clinician or a practice. The 11 items of the PCPCM assess primary care aspects rarely captured yet thought responsible for primary care effects on population health, equity, quality, and sustainable expenditures.
