Definition of Wong and Haggerty's [10] patient experience domains used in the assessment of patient experiences of care
Patient experience domain Definition Access Access can be broadly defined as the ease and ability for consumers and community groups to access a provider, service or an institution Interpersonal communication The extent to which patients are involved in making decisions about their treatment Continuity and coordination Continuity is the patients’ experience of care over time. Coordination is the provision and organisation of health services and information to meet a patient's health needs Comprehensiveness of services The provision, either directly or indirectly, of a full range of services to meet patients’ or clients’ healthcare needs Trust The expectation that the other person will behave in a way that is beneficial and that allows for risks to be taken based on this expectation and the expectation that the other person will behave in a way that is beneficial and that allows for risks to be taken based on this expectation [10] Patient-reported impacts Patients’ or clients’ ability or readiness to engage in health behaviours that will maintain or improve their health status - TABLE 2
