Community-oriented primary care: an examination of the US experience.

Abstract: Community-oriented primary care (COPC) represents a specific variation on the general primary care model. Seven case studies from vastly different health care settings were examined and this report describes the diversity of expression of the principles of COPC observed. The results suggest that COPC is not limited to publicly funded programs, but can find expression in the private sector as well. The organization of financing and the lack of feasible quantitative tools hinder the full development of the model. Show more

“…The core components of the COPC model are as follows (Tollman, 1991;Nutting and Connor, 1986): a primary care practice which provides care to a speci®c community; a clearly de®ned community which is served by the practice; a systematic process by which the practice addresses the major health problems of the community in alliance with that community; the complementary use of epidemiological and clinical skills; and the accessibility of the primary care services.
