The politics of primary care expansion: lessons from cancer survivorship and substance abuse.
The purpose of this study was to understand the perspectives of primary care innovators treating patient populations not traditionally considered to be within the purview of primary care. The authors indicated that their study findings suggested that the politics surrounding entrenched professional identities contributed to barriers faced by conference participants in their efforts to provide innovative care for these nontraditional populations. Specifically, obstacles surfaced in relation to sharing patients across disciplinary boundaries, which resulted in issues of possessiveness, a questioning of provider qualifications, and a lack of interprofessional trust.

Can accountable care organisations really improve the English NHS? Lessons from the United States.
The authors summarize evidence on accountable care organizations in the US - including what they look like, their effect on the quality and cost of healthcare, and how they are redesigning care. Recognizing major differences in context, they offer lessons from the US experience for National Health Service policy makers as they consider the future of similar ventures in England.
