“…As Thomas says in a partner paper in this issue of LJPC, we need to develop a research approach that is adequate to the complex and dynamic nature of primary care. 8 And we need a more nuanced approach to the values underlying healthcare if we are to practise in a truly evidencebased way.…”

“…Central to these practices is the idea of context ("Appendix 1: Definitions of Health-Care Settings," 2009; Thomas, 2014). The setting in which individuals perform the care-related activity dictates what constitutes an acceptable and credible approach to care.…”

The modern age is one of international integration and intercultural exchange. The speed and ease with which individuals can share information internationally means almost any discussion can move from the local to the global instantly (Collins, 2010). Local interactions can thus have global consequences individual actors might never fully realize (Kleineberg & Boguña´, 2016). At the same time, trends in international migration and global employment mean communities increasingly encompass individuals from varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds (Milanovic, 2013). Such factors have important implications for communicating about medicine, health, and care on global and local levels. The ease with which humans can travel internationally means infections can spread rapidly across the globe (Tatem, Rogers, & Hay, 2006). This situation also means addressing disease outbreaks and treating afflicted populations requires a global perspective (World Health Organization, 2018). As a result, health organizations around the world increasingly exchange information to address local health situations (Evans, 2016). In this way, public health has become a matter of global interaction and exchange. In these situations, effective cross-cultural communication is essential to success (Rajiv, Rimal, & Lapinski, 2009). Yet engaging in such exchanges is not easy, for the contexts in which they occur are often complex. Successful interactions in these situations involve integrating concepts from health, medical, and care communication with ideas from international and cross-cultural communication.

“…There is a need to consider an alternate research approach in developing outcomes for primary care. 9 We would suggest that this continued failure to focus on outcomes that patients want as well as persistent health inequalities requires a refocusing of our approach towards patient-defined and populationbased health outcomes. This should be particularly true for general practice, a part of the healthcare system traditionally imbuing the values of populationbased care.…”

Approaches to evaluating the care of patients with long-term conditions first need to be framed around defining outcomes that 'matter to people', rather than those that are focused on disease and easily measurable. Secondly, approaches to evaluating such care should be organised with the ability to 'deliver what matters to people' - such models of care must allow for the opportunity to maximise the impact of primary care. Finally, any approach to evaluation must also 'enable the delivery of what matters to people', including approaches to promote self-care, well-being and interprofessional workforce development organised around educational networks.
