Risk Management in Primary Care (eGERISSEP)

Assessing Risk Management in Primary Care Teams

The proposed research is a prospective, non-comparative study based on a qualitative method, comprising a literature review followed by 2 successive series of Focus Groups with users and healthcare professionals of primary care in the French AURA region. The 2 Focus Group phases will make it possible to :

• propose an operational definition of the notion of a professional team in primary care (validation by consensus between the participants of the first 4 Focus Groups based on the definitions in the literature)
• describe the ways in which risks are managed in primary care teams (qualitative analysis of the contributions made by the participants in the next 12 Focus Groups organized in 12 primary care teams)
