Abstract

Objectives: To undertake an assessment of the association between coproduction and satisfaction with decisions made for local healthcare communities.

Design: A coproduction scale was developed and tested to measure individual National Health Service (NHS) commissioners’ satisfaction with commissioning decisions.

Setting: 11 English Primary Care Trusts in 2010–2011.

Participants: Staff employed at NHS band 7 or above involved in commissioning decisions in the NHS. 345/ 440 (78%) of participants completed part of all of the survey.

Main outcome measure: Reliability and validity of a coproduction scale were assessed using a correlation based principal component analysis model with direct oblimin rotation. Multilevel modelling was used to predict decision satisfaction.

Results: The analysis revealed that coproduction consisted of three principal components: productive discussion, information and dealing with uncertainty. Higher decision satisfaction was associated with smaller decisions, more productive discussion, decisions where information was readily available to use and those where decision-making tools were more often used.

Conclusions: The research indicated that coproduction may be an important factor for satisfaction with decision-making in the commissioning of healthcare services.
