title: Models of primary care service delivery in Ontario: why such diversity?
abstract: A surprisingly large and ever-growing number of alternative models of primary care service delivery have been developed in Ontario. The models are relatively poorly understood, and it is unclear why there are so many of them. What needs of providers and of government as payer are they attempting to address? Through a literature review and interviews with key informants, we sought to explain why there are so many models.
