Recent Commonwealth Fund–supported articles in the peer-reviewed literature examine:
- reasons that primary care physicians choose to leave practice (Journal of Primary Care & Community Health, Jan. 4, 2012); and
- patients' views on how care coordinators can help manage chronic conditions (Archives of Internal Medicine, March 12, 2012).
Articles published by Harkness Fellows in Health Care Policy and Practice explored:
- how the Netherlands, England, and the United States are bolstering their primary care systems (German Journal for Evidence and Quality in Health Care, 2011);
- how to support older people living alone in managing their health conditions (Research on Aging, Jan. 10, 2012); and
- lessons from a Dutch effort using bundled payments for diabetes care (Health Affairs, Feb. 2012).
Another article, drawn from work commissioned for The Commonwealth Fund's 2010 International Health Symposium, explored varying approaches to health care system leadership and governance in seven nations (Health Policy, Jan. 19, 2012).
