<qa>  What is the primary care settings potential for preventing and managing cardiorespiratoryBecause of its ongoing access to the majority of the U.S. population, the primary care setting has great potential for preventing and managing cardiorespiratory illness. However, due to their broad focus and competing demands, primary care practices often fail to translate evidence-based guidelines into practice. Based on more than 10 years of practice-based observational and intervention research, the investigators have developed a multimethod assessment process MAP for understanding the unique barriers, opportunities and complexity of diverse primary care practice settings. MAP has been used to inform a practice-individualized intervention that resulted in sustained increases of evidence-based guidelines for clinical preventive service delivery. They integrated a participatory quality improvement PQI process that involves patients, office staff, and physicians with MAP MAPPQI to enhance and promote ongoing practice-specific quality improvement.
