^*P value compares percent of recommended care processes completed in the intervention (I) versus control (C) group using multilevel logistic regression models adjusted for clustering as described in the Methods section.

Table showing quality of care by condition in the intervention group and control group of the nurse practitioner intervention. The columns entitled “Eligible care process N” represents the total number of care processes for each condition for which patients in the columns entitled “Patient N” were eligible. The top half of the table represents data on all care processes; the bottom half of the table represents data only for care process among conditions designated “top priority” for referral (note that patients could have multiple conditions – or no conditions -- designated as top priority by the referring physician).
