Introduction: The Person-Centred Care instrument for outpatient care (PCCoc) is a 36-item patient-reported experience measure with 4 ordered response categories, that aims to capture the degree of perceived person-centred care (PCC) from a patient perspective among persons with long-term conditions. The PCCoc is based on a framework that conceptualises outpatient PCC from lower to higher levels of perceived PCC, from personalisation via shared decision-making to empowerment, where 35 of the PCCoc items are a part of the framework's hierarchy.

Aim: To investigate to what extent empirical item responses are consistent with the hierarchical PCCoc conceptual framework among persons with long-term conditions in outpatient care.

  • Patient Initiated Follow-Up (PIFU) is being adopted in the NHS to improve outpatient care by enabling patients to manage their follow-ups, especially in high-demand areas like rheumatology.
  • PIFU has shown similar safety and results compared to traditional methods, while enhancing personalized care and efficiency, potentially reducing patient backlogs.
  • Successful implementation requires careful patient selection, education for both patients and staff, clear operational guidelines, and effective use of digital tools like ePROMs for patient monitoring.
