Narrative literature review on incentives for primary health care team service provision: learning and working together in primary health care

Abstract

Governments are encouraging team work between primary health care (PHC) providers using various incentive approaches, particularly for patients with complex and chronic illness. To date, no Australian focused literature review has been conducted considering the use of combined incentive approaches to encourage team work to inform PHC policy decision making.The research reported in this paper is a project of the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute which is supported by a grant from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing under the Primary Health Care Research Evaluation and Development Strategy
