Description
Summary:As part of the Community Tracking Study, 12 metropolitan statistical areas were selected randomly from MSAs with populations over 200,000. Researchers made baseline site visits to these communities and conducted from 36 to 60 interviews, depending on the size of the site. The communities were compared to identify common patterns of change and differences across communities. Interview modules were designed to obtain multiple perspectives on a question. The study found that fundamental changes in the way care is actually delivered is likely to lag behind the extensive changes in organizational relationships that are taking place.
