Engaging primary care physicians in care coordination for patients with complex medical conditions.

CONCLUSION: The SCOPE project provided an opportunity for PCPs to build meaningful relationships, reconnect to the broader health care system, and redefine their roles. For many PCPs, reestablishing connections reaffirmed their role in the system and enabled a more collaborative care model. Strategies for connecting community-based PCPs to the broader system need to consider contextual factors and the effects of new linkages and coordination on the identities and relationships of PCPs.
