Serious Illness Survey for Home-Based Programs

The proposed measures are derived from the Serious Illness Survey for Home-Based Programs, a 36-item questionnaire designed to measure the care experiences of patients receiving care from home-based serious illness programs.

The percent of contraceptive care patients giving “top box” scores on a PRE-PM focused on quality of contraceptive care (the Person-Centered Contraceptive Counseling [PCCC] measure), within a 6-month lookback period

The measure is a PRE-PM, which calculates the percentage of contraceptive care patients who give a “top box” score for their experience of contraceptive counseling. The measure is a four-question survey which asks patients about key components of patient-centered counseling, including respect and adequate information. A “top box” score is defined as a response which gives the highest score for each of the four questions. Respondents give answers evaluating the quality of contraceptive care they received in the past six months.
