^a0 = usual care, 1 = UCCs; ^b0 = out-of-hours GP services, 1 = ED; ^c0 = female, 1 = male; ^d0 = support staff, 1 = physician; *Variable contributes significantly (p < 0.05) to the model; **Variable contributes significantly (p < 0.01) to the model
Higher scores correspond with more perceived quality, higher workload and more co-operation between out-of-hours GP services and EDs
