The QOC questionnaire is a 17-item inventory that measures quality of communication with the provider. Patients are asked to rate how good their doctor is at each of the communication skills on a scale of 0–10, with 0 indicating “the very worst” and 10 indicating “the very best.” Patients are offered two additional response options, “My doctor did not do this” (allowing them to leave the item unrated then it does not occur), and “don’t know” (indicating that they are unsure of how to rate their doctor on a particular skill).
