Very high rates of chronic disease and their related complications are evident in rural and remote communities in Australia, particularly in Indigenous communities. To meet these needs many different models of primary health care have been developed, but it is not known how well these models of care translate to health improvement. This research project, funded by the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute seeks to understand what primary health care organisational approaches, systems, processes and skills contribute to good health outcomes. Although this research project is still underway, early impacts are demonstrated in this clip.
