We provide empirical analyses on the relevance of internal and external factors for innovation implementation in primary care practices. Moreover, corroborating the PCD, our results demonstrate the need for a combination of internal and external factors to implement successfully.Furthermore, using QCA, we show that two different combinations of factors can likewise facilitate successful implementation. We therefore encourage future research to consider this equifinality.We demonstrate the applicability of both the PCD and QCA to study influencing factors in primary care settings.
