Different primary care delivery models exist for mothers and their infants. We examined whether primary care system performance measures differed when mother-infant dyads received primary care from the same or different providers. ⋯ Concordant care provided to a new mother and her infant by the same family physician was not associated with better primary care health system performance. The reason that pediatric primary care is associated with better maternal and child outcomes remains to be determined.
