Abstract
Integrated health care includes joint, outpatient delivery of medical and behavioral health services. Traditional patient satisfaction measures might fail to capture the discrete delivery approaches in this model. To identify patient satisfaction measures used in integrated health care settings, a systematic review was conducted of US-based studies conducted in adult outpatient integrated care settings from 1999 through 2020. Study quality was assessed using standards recommended by the COSMIN guidelines. The review yielded a sample of 23 studies, consisting of 10 standardized measures and 6 self-developed tools. All studies/measures met at least one of the identified COSMIN guidelines, demonstrating quality of the measures. While most measures evaluated key elements of integration, including access, communication, and relationships, only one standardized measure evaluated elements of care specific to practice in integrated care. Findings suggest a need for a comprehensive patient satisfaction measure that captures important aspects of the integrated health care experience.
