Definition
The Person-Centred Primary Care Measure instrument is an 11-item patient reported assessment of primary care.
Numerator
The PCPCM PRO-PM allows all patients to report their assessment of the quality of primary care received through responses to PCPCM PRO instrument. The target population is all active patients in a practice during the performance reporting period. A patient is defined as active if the patient has had a documented interaction with the practice within 12 months of the patient's birth month. The PCPCM PRO is the same for all patients, regardless of age. Because the PCPCM PRO applies to all patients and is not particular to a clinical encounter, it is administered once a year to each patient during their birth month. The target population is defined the same, regardless of unit of analysis (clinician or practice). The numerator is the sum of all PCPCM PRO scores for active patients.
Denominator
The denominator is the total number of complete PCPCM PRO instruments received in the reporting period. A completed PRO instrument is defined as a PRO instrument for which the patient has responded to at least 8 of 11 items.

Data Collection Methods
Person-Centred Primary Care Measure instrument is an 11-item patient reported assessment of primary care. Patients complete the PCPCM instrument once a year. in the month of their birth, which allows a practice to receive monthly feedback in between quality reporting periods. The monthly data collection allows for assessed entities to receive regular feedback during the course of the year. However, PCPCM PRO-PM performance scores are calculated based on quality reporting program requirements or a 12-month time-frame.
