A quasi-systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. Study elements from articles in the final analysis were extracted and categorized into dimensions of access from the Framework. The review identified multiple barriers to primary care access for the homeless. This included lack of insurance coverage and competing priorities. Facilitators to access included tailored health care delivery systems and having a regular source of care. This review provides evidence that health policy initiatives, patient-centered care, and targeted interventions can assist with improving primary care access among the homeless.
