Regional variation in primary care improvement strategies and policy: case studies that consider qualitative contextual data for performance measurement in three Canadian provinces by John L Campbell, Catherine Scott, Fred Burge, Sabrina T Wong, Ruth Martin-Misener, Sharon Johnston, Stephanie Blackman, William Hogg, Anne M Grool, Sara Wuite

“…NVivo (V.11) was used to manage data and perform content analysis to identify categories within and across cases. The coding structure was developed by researchers through iterative collaboration, using inductive and deductive processes.Results Six overarching primary care improvement strategies, differing in focus and spread, were implemented across the three study regions: interprofessional team-based approaches, provider skill mix expansion, physician groups and networks, information systems, remuneration and performance measurement and reporting infrastructure.Conclusion The addition of information on regional improvement strategies to primary care performance reports could add important contextual insights into primary care performance results. …”
