Effectiveness of intensive primary care interventions: a systematic review.
This study systematically reviewed the impact of intensive primary care programs on all-cause mortality, hospitalization, and emergency department use. The authors found that intensive primary care interventions demonstrated varying effectiveness in reducing hospitalizations, and noted there was limited evidence that these interventions were associated with changes in mortality.

Learning the landscape: implementation challenges of primary care innovators around cancer survivorship care.
This study describes the experiences of early implementers of primary care-focused cancer survivorship delivery models. Implementation challenges included (1) lack of key stakeholder buy-in; (2) practice resources allocated to competing (non-survivorship) change efforts; and (3) competition with higher priority initiatives incentivized by payers.
