Detailed Description
This study evaluates the Community for Successful Ageing (ComSA) Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), a model of community-based primary care geriatric hub at Whampoa, Singapore. This study aims to evaluate the impact of ComSA PCMH on health service utilisation, healthcare cost, clinical quality and effectiveness, as well as patient activation, quality of life, satisfaction and experience of care. The first component of the study is a single arm prospective pre-post cohort design, which aims to evaluate the impact on enrolled patients' self-reported health outcomes, experience of care, and cost effectiveness. The second component of the study evaluates the quality of the implementation processes via clinical quality indicators. The third component is a match-controlled retrospective pre-post study design, which aims to evaluate the impact on healthcare utilisation. Data sources include both survey data and administrative data.
