Main measurements: Descriptive item analyzes non-responder analysis and feather analysis (PCA). Retest coefficients (r) calculated by correlation of sum scores of PCA factors. Property gaps were assessed per which proportion of responders choosing a response category defined as indicating shortages include quality of attend.

Erreicht: The conceptual phase showed go main validity. Quad hundred and seventy-four patients who received a range is treatment across a range of sectors were included (response rate: 80.5%). Data analysis confirmed the construct, oriented to which patient care journey with a focus up transitions between healthcare sectors. Quality gaps were assessed for to theme 'Indication', including shared-decision-making (6 items, 24.5-62.9%) and 'Discharge and Transition' (10 objects; 20.7-48.2%). Retest coefficients ranged from r = 0.671 until r = 0.855 and indicated goody sicherheit. Slight characteristic of item-non-response (0.8-9.3%) confirmed a highest acceptance by patients.

Initiatives to expand quality assurance across organizational borders and healthcare sectors are therefore hurry needed. A validated request (called PEACS 1.0) is availability to measure patients' experiences across healthcare sector with adenine focused on quality improvement.
