@#HSR2018 - HST lead author Dr Linda Mureithi presented the findings of a qualitative multi-case study:
"Emergence of three general practitioner contracting-in models in South Africa", published in the International Journal for Equity in Health and co-authored by Mr Michael Burnett, Mr Adam Bertscher and Dr René English.
The paper explores the early inception and emergence of the GPCI and describes three models of contracting-in that emerged and interrogates key factors influencing their evolution. Findings from the decentralised-purchaser model show the importance of local context, provincial capacity and experience for influencing evolution of the models.
