Mixed Qualitative-Quantitative Approach in Community Health Research
There is an integrated approach that both uses quantitative and qualitative research to come up with pragmatic strategy. A research by Goldman, Parker, Brown, Walker, Eaton, et al. (2015) used a comprehensive research report; mixed qualitative-quantitative evaluation to assess the likelihood of whether patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model produces desired results. This public health evaluation offers a comprehensive methodology to enable understanding of how PCMH transformation occurs in different community practice settings. This approach can foster insights about how transformation affects critical outcomes to achieve meaningful, patient-centered, high-quality, and cost-effective sustainable change among diverse community care practices.
