Consensus was that proactive and pragmatic R&D departments and/or service managers, and consistency of research message within organisations (items 3 [94.994.9%] and 4 [84.784.7%]), could enhance recruitment potential.
The aggregated scores of the following five CCM domains were positively correlated: 'healthcare organisation' (7 items), 'delivery system design' (15 items), 'decision support' (3 items), 'clinical information systems' (6 items) and 'self-management support' (4 items).
Not only does that mean bequeathing an arts organisation with items of some value – some that cost £50 are worth £1500 – but each item is shaped by its individual backstory or provenance, something that will resonate with theatremakers.
In the consensus process with the members of the focus group and the anthroposophic patient organisation additional items were formulated.
There was no significant difference in total domain score but there were for the Organisation Domain item: "Supports a multi-disciplinary approach to research"; and trends of p < 0.1 for Organisation Domain items: "Provides adequate resources to support staff research training" and "Has funds, equipment or admin to support research".
Internet searches looked systematically through the websites of local, regional and national governments and private and civil society organisations, news items and reports for each city in turn.
Subscales: Organisation of care (items 1-4) Patient orientation (items 5-12) Scale: "totally agree", "slightly agree", "slightly disagree", "totally disagree" The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
The non-physician staff were further asked about their estimation of the practice organisation with four items; 5-point Likert scale were used ('fully disagree' to 'fully agree').
This was supplemented with a review of the 'grey' literature (i.e. unpublished surveys carried out by cancer charities and other organisations) to include items not published in academic journals.
Explorative factor analysis reveals two dimensions/subscales: organisation of care (4 items, Cronbach's Alpha 0.65) and patient orientation (8 items, Cronbach's Alpha 0.86).
