Putting community-oriented primary care into practice in real-world clinical settings can be challenging. The full cycle of COPC requires not only a desire to create positive interventions for the community, but the ability to obtain representative feedback from members of the community and to obtain objective data on relevant outcome measures. This community-input >>>intervention >>> objective evaluation cycle must not just be completed once, but must be a continuous loop with increasingly rapid cycle times if the COPC initiative is to achieve measurable improvement in the community’s health. In this session, we will discuss common barriers and seek to learn methods for closing the COPC loop by creating structures for “listening to the community”, as well as sources of outcomes data that follow patients beyond the walls of one clinical practice.
