Approaches to Measure Efficiency in Primary Care: A Systematic Literature Review

ConclusionsThe main limitations that future research on primary care efficiency should address relate to the definition of output. Current approaches to measure the impact on health and the multiple dimensions of output are not sufficient to represent the valued output of primary care. In light of the recent changes in the model of primary care delivery in England, future research should  also investigate the impact of technological change on productivity and the scope for substitution across staff roles.
