Profiling patterns of patient experiences of access and continuity at team-based primary healthcare clinics (Canada): a latent class analysis

These results highlight individual social and health characteristics associated with increased risk of experiencing healthcare access difficulties, such as immigration status and education level and/or continuity difficulties when having a chronic condition and poor perceived mental health. Facilitating appointment booking for recently arrived immigrants and patients with low education, integrating interprofessional collaboration practices for patients with chronic conditions and improving care coordination and communication for patients with mental health needs are recommended.
