dc.descriptionThis new volume consists of structured case studies summarizing the state of primary care in 31 European countries. It complements the previous study, Building primary care in a changing Europe, in which an overview of the state of primary care across the continent was provided, including aspects of governance, financing, workforce and details of service profiles. These case studies establish the context of primary care in each country; the key governance and economic conditions; the development of the primary care workforce; how primary care services are delivered; and an assessment of the quality and efficiency of the primary-care system. The studies exemplify the broad national variations in accessibility, continuity and coordination of primary care in Europe today, something which complicates the assessment of primary care’s role in contributing to the overall performance of the health system despite growing evidence of the added value of a strong primary care sector. This book builds on the EU-funded project “Primary Health Care Activity Monitor for Europe (PHAMEU)” that was led by the Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL) and co-funded by the European Commission (Directorate General Health & Consumers).
