Understanding how health systems facilitate primary care redesign.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To understand how health systems are facilitating primary care redesign (PCR), examine the PCR initiatives taking place within systems, and identify barriers to this work.

Study setting

A purposive sample of 24 health systems in 4 states.

Study design

Data were systematically reviewed to identify how system leaders define and implement initiatives to redesign primary care delivery and identify challenges. Researchers applied codes which were based on the theoretical PCR literature and created new codes to capture emerging themes. Investigators analyzed coded data then produced and applied a thematic analysis to examine how health systems facilitate PCR.

Data collection

Semi-structured telephone interviews with 162 system executives and physician organ
