Citation Health Quality Ontario. Interventions to improve access to primary care for people who are homeless: a systematic review. Toronto: Health Quality Ontario (HQO). Ontario health technology assessment series; 16(9). 2016 Authors' conclusions Our systematic review of the literature identified various types of interventions that seek to improve access to primary care by attempting to address barriers to care encountered by people who are homeless. Moderate-quality evidence indicates that orientation to clinic services (either alone or combined with outreach) improves access to a primary care provider in adults who are homeless, without serious mental illness, and living in urban centres.
