    • Health Services Research
    • Patient-Centered Care

    Background:

    • Family practice models are crucial for primary care delivery.
    • Evaluating patient perceptions and utilization is key to assessing practice effectiveness.
    • Longitudinal studies offer insights into practice evolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate changes in patient perceptions and behavior within a family practice over a five-year period.
    • To analyze the impact of the family practice model on patient attitudes and utilization.
    • To identify areas of significant change and stability in patient-reported outcomes.

  • Patient behavior analyzed using a Family Utilization Index.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant changes observed in both reported and actual patient utilization of services.
    • Minimal changes detected in patients' perceptions of health and illness.
    • Attitudes toward the family practice model and care site remained relatively stable.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient utilization patterns in family practice can change significantly over time.
    • Patient perceptions of health and attitudes towards the practice model may be more resistant to change.
    • Further empirical studies are needed to document the effectiveness of family practice in primary care.
