ABOUT
Purpose
To examine the response and capacity of primary care in light of a rapidly evolving policy and practice environment, making visible the experience, challenges, and inspiration of frontline physicians.
Survey invitations are distributed 4-8 times a year to the Green Center’s Virtual Research Collaborative and through our partner organizations. Surveys are anonymous, voluntary, and take less than 5 minutes to complete. Each survey instrument includes flash questions, core questions, and demographic information that enables analysis and the sharing of results. Seventy percent of flash questions are based on concerns and requests from previous survey respondents.
Why It Matters
With no national database for primary care, and no national coordination, the need for primary care to generate its own data and to understand the experience of practicing clinicians is acute. Data from these surveys represent the experiences and interest of frontline clinicians across the US. Findings have previously been used to inform state legislative action, policy memos, news items, and peer-reviewed publications. Through the Flash Surveys, the Green Center gives back to those clinicians who help to steward the health of the nation.
