Summary/Abstract
The PCP Reports provide cross-sectional and longitudinal aggregate data on cancer screening, diabetes management, patterns of service use, practice demographics and case mix. Based on results from a recent survey of FHT executive directors, 87% have found the report useful to drive quality improvement in their practice. Currently, 133 FHTs have already signed up to receive the report and 88% would recommend the reports to their peers. By reflecting on their current performance, individual physicians or primary care teams can identify and select an improvement target and leverage change ideas to move their practice toward the desired target.
