ABSTRACT
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Home-Based Primary Care (HBPC) Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) provides in-home, primary care for medically complex Veterans. This study explores how HBPC and Veterans' caregivers partner to provide care. Interviews, focus groups, and field observations were conducted during eight HBPC site visits. Qualitative thematic analysis was performed. Caregivers/IDT member partnerships are important to care. Effective partnerships include ease of communication; caregiver-centered support; and when no caregiver is present, IDTs providing more monitoring/services to Veterans and connection to community services. As this model expands, understanding dynamics between IDT members and caregivers will optimize the success of HBPC programs.
