Case conferences may be a feasible approach to understanding patient's complex social needs. Participants reported that case conferences may help mitigate the effects of these social issues and that they foster better inter-professional communication and care planning in primary care. The case conference model requires administrative support and organizational resources to be successful. Future research should explore how case conferences fit into a larger population health organizational strategy so that they are resourced commensurately.
