Brief Description:
information tooltip image Brief summary description of assessment instrument

This brief focuses on the importance of considering and reporting contextual factors in studies of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) models. This template could be included as an appendix to a scientific paper reporting study findings, or preferably could be used to generate a sentence for the abstract, a succinct paragraph that summarizes the important contextual factors for inclusion in the results section of the paper, and used as the basis for interpreting the meaning and transportability of the findings in the discussion section of the paper.
