Conference on International Lessons in Primary Care
On April 4, 2011, AHRQ hosted a small conference on international lessons in primary care system design and development. Leading thinkers, researchers, and implementers from Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom joined a delegation from the United States to discuss:

models of care,
system and community infrastructure,
quality and safety,
process of health system change and sustainability, and
financing and incentives.

The goal of the meeting was to propose a policy roadmap for the United States to revitalize its primary care system. AHRQ provides this summary of the conference and individual papers from each of the seven participating delegations.
