A missed opportunity to improve patient satisfaction? Patient perceptions of inpatient communication with their primary care physician.
Patient satisfaction could be driven by patient perception of hospital team communication with their primary care physician (PCP). A retrospective mixed methods approach was used to characterize the relationship between patient satisfaction and patient perception of hospital team-PCP communication.

Lessons learned designing and using an online discussion forum for care coordinators in primary care.
In this paper, the authors comprehensively describe their experiences, from start to finish, of designing and using an asynchronous online discussion forum for collecting and analyzing information elicited from care coordinators in Patient-Centered Medical Homes across the United States. They conclude that an asynchronous online discussion forum is a feasible, efficient, and effective method to conduct a qualitative study, particularly when subjects are health professionals.

Meaningful use care coordination criteria: perceived barriers and benefits among primary care providers.
This systematic review of studies of laser treatment of infantile hemangioma concluded that the studies primarily addressed different laser modalities compared with observation or other laser modalities. Pulsed dye laser was the most commonly studied laser type, but multiple variations in treatment protocols did not allow for demonstration of superiority of a single method.
