Impact of the New York State Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (IStop) on chronic pain management by primary care providers.

Objective: To explore the impact of the New York State Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (IStop) on the self-reported management of patients with chronic pain by primary care providers.

Design: Mixed-methods study with survey collection and semistructured interviews.

Setting: Multiple academic hospitals in New York.

A novel longitudinal interprofessional ambulatory training practice: the improving patient access care and cost through training (IMPACcT) clinic.

Few graduating health professionals choose primary care. Trainees satisfied with continuity ambulatory experiences are more likely to pursue primary care. The authors developed a longitudinal interprofessional ambulatory training program to improve team-based care and encourage primary care careers.
