Methods According to guidelines we translated the Assessment of Chronic Illness Care ACIC into German G-ACIC . We tested the instrument in different primary care settings and compared subscales with the original testing. Results Difficulties encountered during the translation process consisted in the difference of health care settings in Switzerland and USA. However initial testing showed the G-ACIC to be a suitable instrument. The average ACIC subscale scores in Swiss managed care MC - group GP - and single handed practices SP were higher for MC practices than for group- and single handed practices Organization of the healthcare delivery system MC mean m SD GP m SD SP m SD community linkages MC m SD GP m SD SP m SD self-management support MC m sD GP m SD SP m SD decision support MC m SD GP m SD SP m SD delivery system design MC m SD GP m SD SP m SD and clinical information systems MC m SD GP m SD SP m SD . Conclusions The G-ACIC is applicable and useful for comparing different health care settings in German speaking countries. Managed care organizations seem to implement the different components of the CCM in a greater extend than group and single handed practices. However much room exists for further improvement.
