Importance of Various Elements of Primary Care. Differing Views of Experts and Practitioners

摘要

The focus of this study was medical group practices and there were two objectives: to examine the degree to which organizations involved in the delivery of primary care varied in primary care performance, and to explore the extent to which organization characteristics of group practices explain the variations found. Family practitioners and pediatricians differed in their distribution within the variables studied, and adult careers, in general, were found to differ in important group independent co-variables.
