Figure 3 TRIAD conceptual model of relationships among patient factors, patient-system interactions, processes, and outcomes of care.
The components of this model, which is a flowchart,
are:
Fixed patient factors: Demographics, socioeconomics,
environment, disease severity, comorbidities
Patient-physician system interactions: Communication,
trust, access to care, out-of-pocket costs
Care processes: HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol
testing, nephropathy screening, dilated eye exam, foot
exam, aspirin, smoking cessation advice
Behavior: Self-management, adherence, physical activity,
diet, smoking
Outcomes: HbA1c, systolic blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol
Psychosocial factors: Depression, hopelessness,
self-efficacy, social support
The flowchart begins with fixed patient factors, and
ends with outcomes and care processes.
Fixed patient factors influence outcomes directly and by
influencing other components, which are psychosocial
factors, patient-physician system interactions, and
behavior.
Patient-physician interactions influence care processes,
behavior and fixed patient factors.
Psychosocial factors influence behavior and fixed
patient factors.
Behavior influences outcomes.
