Team-based innovations in primary care delivery in Quebec and timely physician follow-up after hospital discharge: a population-based cohort study.

Our study found lower rates of postdischarge follow-up with a medical specialist among older patients and patients with chronic illness who were enrolled in team-based primary care practices compared with those enrolled in traditional primary care practices. Future research is needed to better understand the role of primary health care service organization in improving acute postdischarge care.
