Endowment for Health funded University of New Hampshire Institute for Health Policy and Practice Health (UNH IHPP) research in 2023 focused on the provision of primary care in NH, which IHPP addressed through two reports and a focus group. The reports included a landscape on existing best-practice literature in primary care and, a review of assessment tools for evaluating primary care services and delivery. This paper provides a summary and findings of the focus group.

The Institute for Health Policy and Practice (IHPP) of the College of Health and Human Services at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) contracted with Sarah Mason Eck of Scientific Health to provide a review of existing New Hampshire (NH) assessments and reports surrounding practices in primary care. The primary goals of this assignment were to review and synthesize data from within existing state, regional, and national assessments and reports regarding primary care and capacity in NH, and to review the literature for evidence-based best practices in primary health care.

The objectives of this report are to develop a synthesis of tools and recommendations for collecting data from patients and clinicians related to primary care services and care delivery, and to create a report of recommended tools that have been used and validated, with an appendix of the actual survey instruments when they are available and can be used either with permission or for a fee.

This report represents the first use of the Field Assessment Tool (FASST) to assess the conditions of NH's Healthy Aging field across seven field building domains, based on interviews with key informants engaged in this work.
