Main Results:

Prevalent barriers include environmental, cultural, and information system issues.
Other significant barriers involve physician leadership, group-system relations, compensation, care management, strategy, and accountability.
Identified examples of practices that may help resolve identified issues.

Conclusions:

Physician-system relationships significantly impact healthcare improvement efforts.
Evidence suggests specific strategies can improve these relationships, but further research is needed to assess their impact.
