Identifying patient and provider determinants of primary care experiences and outcomes for persons with chronic conditions: a multilevel analysis of a nation-wide survey in Norway

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate how patient experiences and perceived outcomes for individuals with chronic conditions are influenced by their registered general practitioners (GPs) and to identify the patient and GP-level factors associated with these experiences and outcomes. Their analysis of a nationwide survey in Norway revealed significant variations in patient-reported experiences among different GPs, with health literacy and continuity of care being key determinants. The findings suggest that targeted initiatives at the GP level could enhance care experiences for patients with chronic conditions.
