Note: We interviewed 24 individuals which represent five complete triads-HCE, PCP and patient from the same organization. We were unable to reach the HCE of one PCP. Three PCPs were not willing/unable to provide patient contacts. One HCE worked in the hospital and did not have a panel of PCPs appropriate for the scope of this study. An additional PCP and patient were secured from two different triads.
