RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: We compared homeless patients' experiences of care in health care organizations that differed in their degree of primary care design service tailoring. METHODS: We surveyed homeless-experienced patients (either recently or currently homeless) at 3 Veterans Affairs (VA) mainstream primary care settings in Pennsylvania and Alabama, a homeless-tailored VA clinic in California, and a highly tailored non-VA Health Care for the Homeless Program in Massachusetts (January 2011-March 2012). We developed a survey, the "Primary Care Quality-Homeless Survey," to reflect the concerns and aspirations of homeless patients. RESULTS: Mean scores at the tailored non-VA site were superior to those from the 3 mainstream VA sites (P < .001). Adjusting for patient characteristics, these differences remained significant for subscales assessing the patient-clinician relationship (P < .001) and perceptions of cooperation among providers (P = .004). There were 1.5- to 3-fold increased odds of an unfavorable experience in the domains of the patient-clinician relationship, cooperation, and access or coordination for the mainstream VA sites compared with the tailored non-VA site; the tailored VA site attained intermediate results. CONCLUSIONS: Tailored primary care service design was associated with a superior service experience for patients who experienced homelessness.

RESUMO

Appointment attendance for follow-up care and laboratory monitoring are central components of HIV treatment. In general, appointment reminders are an effective method of reducing outpatient no-shows; however, no single strategy has proven superior. This study tested the effectiveness of adding an automated telephone reminder for laboratory monitoring to the standard set of three appointment reminders to reduce subsequent HIV primary care no-shows. We conducted a quasi-experimental design study in three geographically and administratively affiliated Veterans Administration HIV clinics with one clinic serving as the intervention facility and two others as control facilities. The intervention lasted 6 months. The data show that patients who were not homeless, who were not diagnosed with depression, and who had five or more appointments scheduled in 6 months had significantly fewer no-shows after intervention. The intervention was not effective in reducing no-shows among homeless patients, racial/ethnic minorities, and patients with mental health disorders.
