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 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.
