↵a All but Legacy Emanuel’s data come from 2011 Uniform Data Set reporting to the Health Resources and Services Administration, compiled by the Oregon Primary Care Association. (See also http://bphc.hrsa.gov/uds/view.aspx?q=rlg&year=2011.)
↵b From Legacy Emanuel’s third-quarter 2011 PCR Status Report to CareOregon.
↵c A total of 7 learning collaborative and steering committee observations yielded 58 pages of field notes, which we could not separate by organization because multiple PCR organizations attended these activities.
↵d Researcher days were calculated by number of team members present for each day or half-day of observation. Typically, 3 or 4 team members were present at any given time during a site visit.
