Focus
groups of low-income Washington, DC residents conducted
by the DCPCA Medical Homes DC project identified
multiple barriers to health care access and problems
within the system. The identified barriers are common
across the country, especially among low-income and
minority populations, and the paper recommends several
promising practices that health centers can enact to
improve access to care and the patient
experience.
