Multidisciplinary women's health care and quality of care
1Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Abstract:
Multidisciplinary women's health centers have appeared in academic and community settings throughout the United States as a response to the historical fragmentation of women's health care. This paper addresses the influence of this model for comprehensive primary care on quality of care for women. Attributes of care that may differ between multidisciplinary centers and traditional sites for women's health care and quality measurements sensitive to these differences are considered. The paper reviews the literature on characteristics of patients who attend women's health centers and studies evaluating quality of care in these centers as compared to traditional settings.
