- The study evaluated the effectiveness of care coordination in Brazil by comparing results from the PMAQ-AB program to two other frameworks, the Care Coordination Measures Atlas and the European Observatory.
- A significant difference in care coordination levels was found across the three typologies, with PMAQ-AB teams showing higher percentages in high and medium levels.
- The analysis revealed that various strata exhibited different coordination levels, indicating the necessity for further research on care coordination practices.
The study aimed to identify the association between coordination of care and quality of healthcare for women and children in primary healthcare in Brazil. A cross-sectional study was performed with data from 30,523 teams that participated in the Program for Improvement in Access and Quality of Basic Care (PMAQ) in 2013.
