Major emergent themes were (i) general perceptions, (ii) comprehensiveness, (iii) content, (iv) wording and (v) features.
A majority of the included papers addressed primary care by referring to at least one of the attributes of primary care defined by the Institute of Medicine (i.e. accessibility, comprehensiveness, coordination, continuity, and accountability) [ 47, 48].
Here I will not attempt comprehensiveness and a general overview but base the following examples primarily on my own and my colleagues' research programs, unfolding major relationships among environmental stresses as an evolutionary driver.
However, comprehensiveness and computability (i.e. decidable within a reasonable time) are two contradictory requirements.
For convenience, comprehensiveness and social life, I still visit, but now I see these visits as at least as risky and irritating as they are liberating and exhilarating.
De Jong (2004) commented on the strength of the CEFR, which was reflected in its comprehensiveness: a qualitative dimension, i.e., a descriptive system or taxonomy of language activities, and a quantitative dimension, i.e., the use of different reference levels (54 quantified sets of descriptors and six consecutive intervals).
The principle limitation of this evaluation was that the assessment of how useful the CFIR actually was for guiding the implementation of a CPG during the course of implementation (i.e., the CFIR's comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness) was performed retrospectively.
The PCAT section we used consists of eight scales representing six domains: ongoing care, coordination (i.e., referrals and information systems), comprehensiveness (i.e., service available and service provided), family-centeredness, community orientation and cultural competence.
Quality of primary care was assessed using the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT) Provider Part, representing six primary care domains: ongoing care, coordination (i.e., referrals and information systems), comprehensiveness (i.e., service available and service provided), family-centeredness, community orientation and cultural competence.
What are the effects of IPCTs on (a) accessibility; (b) efficiency; and (c) quality, including the dimensions of (i) technical quality, (ii) continuity and (iii) comprehensiveness of care.
