There is widespread interest in the redesign of primary health care practice models to increase access to quality health care.

RNs performed nine general functions in these contexts including …

Investigators’ field notes …

Recent literature on mental disorders in primary care, where many, if not most, people with mental health problems are seen, is reviewed with focus on recognition and diagnosis issues, management of these problems in primary care, obstacles to accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, and prevention issues. In addition to a review of recent research, there is an effort to …
