Abstract:

Compared with other health care settings, primary care is unique in the breadth of its scope, being concerned with a range of patient health issues and human needs. Primary care providers respond to physical and emotional health concerns of diverse populations, providing and coordinating care across the lifespan. Many patients present with multiple health concerns and other psychosocial, family, or cultural issues requiring attention. This broad scope of practice contrasts with what some see as the highly specialized nature of medical and intervention research driven by a focus on single, tightly defined diseases or clinical situations. The clinical practice guidelines and educational programs are often developed with single diseases in mind and sometimes overlook socioeconomic and cultural differences in populations. This disconnects forces primary care providers to assess the applicability of research findings and interventions to the �??real-world�?� patients in their own practice settings. This study focusses on the factors important to close the gaps to enable primary care and advanced care to be integrated through a research platform to generate better outcomes for patients.
