Evidence for the Quadruple Aim
BACKGROUND: Experts express concern that attaining of the Triple Aim of reducing health care costs, improving patient experiences and ultimately population health, may be compromised by high levels of burnout among physicians. Some have called for a fourth aim of improving the work environment for care providers. OBJECTIVES: Burnout has been linked to poor outcomes in many occupational settings. This study's aim was to investigate linkages betwee…
Patient perceptions of patient‐centred care
AIM: Patient perception measures are gaining increasing interest among scholars and practitioners. The aim of this study was to empirically examine a conceptual model of patient-centred care using patient perception survey data. BACKGROUND: Patient-centred care is one of the Institute of Medicine's objectives for improving health care in the 21st century. Patient interviews conducted by the Picker Institute/Commonwealth Fund in the 1980s resulted…
Putting the ‘patient’ in patient safety
Background Although patient safety has been studied extensively, little research has directly examined patient and family (consumer) perceptions.

Consumer perceptions of patient safety are important for several reasons. First, health‐care policy leaders have been encouraging patients an…

Fairness Perceptions and Trust as Mediators for Transformational and Transactional Leadership
This research presents a comprehensive model of relationships between transformational and transactional leadership, procedural and distributive justice, trust, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Structural equation modeling was used to test a theoretical model with two independent samples that were comprised of 192 and 155 matched leaders and subordinates. Several rival models were also …
Refining the Measurement of Physician Job Satisfaction
BACKGROUND: Physician job satisfaction has been linked to various patient care and health system outcomes. A survey instrument that concisely measures physicians' satisfaction with various job facets can help diverse stake-holders to better understand and manage these outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To document the development and validation of a multidimensional physician job satisfaction measure and separate global satisfaction measures. DESIGN: Self-admi…
Measuring Physician Job Satisfaction in a Changing Workplace and a Challenging Environment
BACKGROUND: Changes in the demographic, specialty, and employment sector composition of medicine have altered physicians' jobs, limiting autonomy and reducing morale. Because physician job satisfaction has been linked to clinical variables, better measurement might help to ameliorate conditions linked to medical disaffection, possibly improving health care. OBJECTIVE: To document conceptual development, item construction, and use of content exper…
Rural Physician Satisfaction
This study uses survey data to identify areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction for primary care physicians working in rural areas across the country. It also identifies the specific areas of satisfaction associated with longer retention within a given rural practice, as well as the characteristics of individuals, practices, jobs, and communities associated with the areas of satisfaction that predict retention. Study subjects comprised a sample…
