Increased demand for quality primary care (PC) and value-based payment has prompted interest in implementing PC teams. Evidence-based recommendations for implementing teams will be critical to successful PA participation. Study objectives include describing how PC professionals 1) define team membership boundaries and 2) coordinate tasks. This mixed-methods study included 28 PC professionals from a PC network. We analyzed survey data using descriptive statistics and interview data using content analysis. Ninety-six percent of PC professionals reported team membership. Team models fell into one of five categories. The predominant coordination mechanism differs by whether coordination is required within a visit or between visits. Team-based PC is a strategy for improving access to quality PC. Most professionals define team membership based on within-visit task interdependencies. Our findings suggest that team-based interventions can focus on clarifying team membership, increasing interaction between providers, and enhancing the EHR to facilitate between-visit coordination.
