Patients' perspectives on integrated oral healthcare in a northern Quebec Indigenous primary health care organisation: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Patient-centred care is considered to be an important element in the evaluation of integrated healthcare and has been effective in addressing oral health disparities. This study explored the patients' perspectives of patient-centred integrated care in oral health services integrated into a primary healthcare organisation serving a northern Quebec Cree population.

Design

This study used a multiple case study design within a qualitative approach and developmental evaluation methodology. Two theoretical models, Picker's Principles of Patient-Centred Care and Valentijn's Rainbow Model of Integrated Care, guided data collection and data analysis. The thematic analysis included transcription, debriefing, codification, data display and interpretation.
