Figure 1
Summary of Patient Survey Responses (n = 1,925). Each stacked bar depicts the number and percentage of respondents per response option per survey item. Above each bar are the mean and standard error of the mean for that survey item.
Figure 2
Patient Survey Responses by Treatment Modality/Setting (n = 1,925). Each group of bars depict the mean response per survey item for each of the three treatment modality groups. At the top of each bar are the mean and standard error of the mean (also depicted as an error bar) for each survey item by modality group. A higher mean indicates higher perceived coordination of care. The square brackets indicate that tests of significance were conducted between pairs of groups (i.e., In-Center and Multi-Care Kidney Clinic (MCKC), MCKC and Home, and In-Center and Home).
* Significant difference at p < 0.001.
NS Not Significant.
