Opioid addiction has become a major public health crisis in many parts of the United States, and people are increasingly looking to health care organizations for answers.

The Impact of Relationship-Based Care

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether customer-owners who are empanelled (chose to be assigned) to a primary care provider perceive that their relationship with that provider is important to improving their health, to evaluate the quality of that relationship, and to measure the impact of customer-owner and provider factors on the quality of the relationship and on health outcomes.
