Related to the issue of assessing satisfaction separately for each level of care is the concept of multidimen sionality of care at each level. Multidimen sionality refers to the different aspects of care such
as cost, coordination, and provider competence.
Each level of the health care system has its own set
of these dimensions across which satisfaction can
be measured. For instance, dimensions of care rel-evant to the individual level for children with special needs include such features as developmen-tally appropriate care and technically competent
care
