Impact of team-based community healthcare on preventable hospitalisation: a population-based cohort study in Taiwan

Objectives The objective of this study was to explore the impact of Taiwan’s Family Practice Integrated Care Project (FPICP) on hospitalisation.Design A population-based cohort study compared the hospitalisation rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) among FPICP participating and non...
