Instrument Categories According to Key Constructs of Integrated Care

Key Construct Description of Instruments
Care integration
  • Clearly specified measuring integrated care/care integration

  • Measured any combination of multiple constructs relevant to integrated care as defined in our framework and original search strategy (ie, continuity of care, coordination of care, integrated care, patient‐centered care, case management, patient experience within the integrated care framework, chronic care, long‐term care, and quality of care)

Care continuity/comprehensive care
  • Clearly specified measuring care continuity/comprehensive care

  • Measured other components related to care continuity/comprehensive care (ie, care transition, handover, linkages)

Care coordination/
case management
  • Clearly specified measuring care coordination/coordination of care/case management

  • Measured other components related to care coordination (ie, teamwork)

Patient‐centered care
  • Clearly specified measuring patient‐centered care

  • Measured other components related to patient‐centered care (ie, patient–health care provider relationship, patient‐doctor communication, shared decision making, trust, patient safety, empathy, unmet patient needs, information sharing, patient activation)
