PAVe: Patient After the Visit Evaluation™  ( For content review only )

 Available in PDF Format

The Patient After the Visit Evaluation™ (PAVE) is comprised of five multi-item scales that measure satisfaction with access to care, physician care, self-confidence, relationship with physician/nursing staff and health plan coverage. There is a question to identify the provider category (e.g. primary care doctor, specialist, nurse) and a question about the general reason for visit (ongoing health condition, illness, routine care). There are four continuity of care items, four medication status items, three preventive health items, two health plan status items, three demographic items for adults and two general information items for parents reporting for their child.
