Mapping Evidence and Constructing an Analytic Framework: An Umbrella Review Summarizing Primary Care Family Physicians' Experiences With Clinical Integration.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Strengthening primary care's integration function is a systematic approach to promote integrated care. Understanding the factors influencing the process of integrating care for every patient is crucial for effective intervention planning. The objective of this study was to generate an analytic framework and evidence map of the barriers and facilitators perceived by family physicians (FPs) in clinical integration, a process to coordinate health care services across time, place, discipline, diseases, and patient demographics.

Methods

Using the Joanna Briggs Institute umbrella review methodology, we searched the MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL databases, identifying 90 reviews (2010-2022) on primary care FPs and clinical integration. We adopted a best-fit framework approach
