ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify primary care structures and processes that have the highest and lowest impact on chronic disease management and screening and prevention outcomes as well as to assess the feasibility of implementing these structures and processes into practice.

Participants

29 primary care providers, health system leaders and health services researchers in the USA.

Outcomes
