Introduction and Acknowledgments

As part of its ongoing commitment to practice improvement, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has developed resources and products to support the use of practice facilitation in primary care settings (www.pcmh.ahrq.gov/page/practice-facilitation). A growing body of evidence indicates that practice facilitation, which is based on the creation of an ongoing, trusting relationship between an external facilitator and a primary care practice, is an effective strategy to improve primary health care processes and outcomes. Practice facilitation activities may focus in particular on helping primary care practices become patient-centered medical homes, but they can also help practices in more general quality improvement and redesign efforts.

As part of its work in this area, AHRQ commissioned Mathematica Policy Research to conduct case studies of three exemplary practice facilitation training programs in the United States and describe their formation, operation, and curricula. The three programs, which vary in location, administrative homes, and organizational and training models, were selected based on results of an environmental scan of existing practice facilitation training programs and nominations from the field.

We hope that these case studies will be useful to groups and individuals who are developing or improving primary care practice facilitation programs; trainers and students in existing programs; and other members of the primary care community, including clinicians and policymakers.

We are deeply grateful to the case study participants from the three exemplary programs for their time and significant contributions to this work:
