Patient-centered medical homes and access to services for new primary care patients.
The study objective was to determine whether patient-centered medical homes (PCMH) practices are associated with better access to new appointments for nonelderly adults by direct measurement. Callers to PCMH practices compared with non-PCMH practices were more likely to schedule a new appointment and be offered after-hour appointments.

Clinical outcomes of early and later physical therapist services for older adults with back pain.
The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of patients receiving early or later PT services with those not receiving PT among older adults presenting to primary care for a new visit for back pain. It found that among older adults early referral to PT resulted in no or minimal differences in pain, function, or health-related quality at 3, 6, or 12 months compared with a matched group that did not receive early PT.

Preventive services by medical and dental providers and treatment outcomes.
The researchers compared the association between the provider of preventive services (PCP, dentist, or both) with Medicaid-enrolled children before their third birthday and subsequent dental caries-related treatment (CRT) and CRT payment. They concluded that, due to children's increased opportunity to receive multiple visits in medical offices during well-child visits, preventive oral health services provided by PCPs may lead to a greater reduction in CRT than dentist visits alone.
