A Mixed Methods Study of the Association of Non-Veterans Affairs Care With Veterans’ and Clinicians’ Experiences of Care Coordination
BACKGROUND: Poor coordination between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and non-VA care may negatively impact health care quality. Recent legislation is intended to increase Veterans' access to care, in part through increased use of non-VA care. However, a possible consequence may be diminished patient experiences of coordination. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine VA patients' and clinicians' experiences of coordinatio…

We tested the extent to which relational climate, a measure of teamwork, moderated the relationship between workload and patient ratings o…

We analyzed the amount of variation in technical quality and patient satisfaction accounted for at the patient, provider, team, and medical center level. METHODS: Data abstracted from Veterans Health Administration patient medical records for 2007 were used to calculate measures of technical quality based on ad…
