What do general practitioners and their patients want from general practice and are they receiving it? A framework
Abstract
This article outlines a framework for answering four questions of national concern in Australia: what do patients want from general practice? What do GPs want from general practice? What do patients get from general practice? What do GPs get from general practice? These questions are posed with respect to four unique attributes of general practice care: first contact care, longitudinality, coordination and comprehensiveness. The nature of the doctor-patient relationship is also examined because, like the other attributes, it has been reported in the literature to be important to patients and GPs. The framework provides a basis for the empirical study of GP and patient perceptions of general practice care.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
