How do innovative primary care practices achieve the quadruple aim?
The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) defines excellent primary care but there is little empiric evidence that helps practices, payers, or policy makers understand how high-performing practices have improved outcomes. This paper reports findings from 38 high-performing practices. The authors describe how these practices execute 8 functions that collectively meet patient needs.

Organizational influences on time pressure stressors and potential patient consequences in primary care.
This study examines organizational determinants and patient consequences of time pressure, theorizing two types of time pressure and based on analysis of data from surveys of care team members and their patients. Measures of the two types - encounter-level and practice-level - were not correlated, nor predicted, which supported the hypothesis. Different organizational factors are associated with each type.
