Title: Implementing primary care reform : barriers and facilitators
Abstract: Strong primary health care systems are the foundation of effective health care. Several countries have attempted to reform primary care delivery in the past few years, with variable results. In Implementing Primary Care Reform the authors examine the barriers to, and facilitators of, such reform in Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, from political, economic, organizational, and clinical perspectives. The authors emphasize the importance of primary care in improving health, increasing cost-effectiveness, and promoting social equity.
