Explaining primary care physicians' decision to quit patient-centered medical homes: Evidence from Quebec, Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the factors explaining primary care physicians' (PCPs) decision to leave patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs).

Data sources

Five-year longitudinal data on all the 906 PCPs who joined a PCMH in the Canadian province of Quebec, known there as a Family Medicine Group.

Study design

We use fixed-effects and random-effects logit models, with a variety of regression specifications and various subsamples. In addition to these models, we examine the robustness of our results using survival analysis, one lag in the regressions and focusing on a matched sample of quitters and stayers.

Data collection/extraction methods

We extract information from Quebec's universal health insurer billing data on all the PCPs who joined a PCMH between 2003 and 2005,
