METHODSPCPs from a large integrated health care system in Northern California completed a survey as part of a quality improvement project related to complex patient care management. Printed surveys were distributed to 156 PCPs from 6 community primary care practices across 3 medical facilities with similar access to case management services. The survey prompted PCPs to consider their 10–15 most complex, challenging patients and asked them to report levels of stress and ease of care coordination. PCPs were also asked to rate the importance of pre-defined patient factors that contribute to making complex patients challenging to manage (Table 1). For our analysis, we dichotomized responses as very high or high importance vs. moderate or low importance and compared PCPs reporting “extreme” stress vs. lower stress levels (moderate, somewhat, or low). We used multivariate logistic regression to control for years’ experience with their employer to adjust for familiarity with practice setting. This study was reviewed by the Research Determination Office of Kaiser Permanente of Northern California and deemed to be quality improvement exempt from full review by a KP Institutional Review Board.
