Quality Of Primary Care

The Hungarian primary care quality indicator system has been introduced in 2009, and has been continuously developed since then. The system offers extra financing for family physicians who are achieving the expected levels of indicators. There are currently 16 indicators for adult and mixed practices and 8 indicators are used in paediatric care. Authors analysed the influencing factors of the indicators other than those related to the performance of family physicians. Expectations and compliance of patients, quality of outpatient (ambulatory) care services, insufficient flow of information, inadequate primary care softwares which need to be updated could be considered as the most important factors. The level of financial motivations should also be significantly increased besides changes in the reporting system. It is recommended, that decision makers in health policy and financing have to declare clearly their expectations, and professional bodies should find the proper solution. These indicators could contribute properly to the improvement of the quality of primary care services in Hungary. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(9), 328–335.

Introduction Occupational therapists remain poorly integrated into family medicine groups in Canada. Physicians are key partners because they can advocate for resources and formulate recommendations to improve the quality of services delivered in their clinics. It is important to explore their perception of the occupational therapist’s role in family medicine groups and the factors influencing their integration. Method A descriptive qualitative study was conducted. Six family physicians participated in an individual interview. Results were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Physicians consider that occupational therapists can meet the needs of diverse primary care clients. Benefits of this integration include improved clients’ functional status, early screening for developmental and age-related problems, and timely access to required care. The main barriers to integration are lack of funding, space and knowledge of the occupational therapist’s role. The strategies identified to facilitate integration are promoting and clarifying the role of occupational therapists in family medicine groups and developing effective integration models. Conclusion According to physicians, the inclusion of occupational therapists in family medicine groups could help primary care teams address many of their clients’ needs and improve the overall quality of primary care services. Targeted strategies are needed to promote the integration of occupational therapists into this practice context.
