Tools and Resources
This section includes tools and resources that AHRQ developed, in collaboration with experts in primary care, to advance primary care research and improve the quality and safety of primary care. These tools and resources help researchers and evaluators to design and evaluate primary care research, decision makers to implement practices for primary care transformation, and clinicians to enhance the delivery of primary care by improving care teams, care processes, and achieving best practices.
