Organizational commitment among physicians: A systematic literature review.

Purpose: Physicians work increasingly in larger organizations across different health care delivery systems. This systematic review examines the published empirical literature on organizational commitment among physicians within an international context.

Design: A systematic, PRISMA-guided review examining studies of organizational commitment among physicians published over time.

Comparing Retail Clinics With Other Sites of Care: A Systematic Review of Cost, Quality, and Patient Satisfaction.

Background: Retail clinics, also referred to as walk-in or convenient care clinics, share common features such as a limited menu of primary care services, on-demand patient appointments, greater use of nonphysician providers such as nurse practitioners, and more convenient hours and access points for patients.

Objectives: Given their rising popularity as an alternative primary care delivery site, it is important to examine retail clinics' impact on patient outcomes. This study's aim was to systematically review the extant literature on retail clinics in the United States with respect to 3 outcomes of interest: quality, cost, and patient satisfaction.

Physician Use of Health Care Teams for Improving Quality in Primary Care.

Objectives: Health care teams may be used to improve quality in the primary care setting. Absent in the extant literature on health care teams is knowledge of how physicians seek to deploy this innovation on an everyday basis to improve care quality. This study's aim was to explore how physicians use teams in practice to deliver higher-quality care.

How teams impact patient satisfaction: A review of the empirical literature.

Background: The increased use of health care teams merits further investigation in terms of their impact on patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction and patient experience generally have come front-and-center given trends within the health care industry around "patient-centered care" and "consumer engagement."

Purpose: This review examines research published between 2000 and 2017 that includes analysis of potential team-patient satisfaction linkages, taking the conceptual perspective that both the mere presence of health care teams and specific team features like cohesion may each be impactful.
