Primary Care: Its Pokemon Moment - 26/06/24
Abstract |
Primary care in the United States is undergoing bursts of evolution in response to health system stresses, changing demographics, and expansion of risk and value-based reimbursement structures. The impact of primary care remains substantive and associated with improved population health. However, the spectrum of services, the nature of the physicians involved and new ways of including the patient in her, or his own care suggests that a new definition of primary care be considered, and patient expectations be heeded and understood. Evolutionary bursts yield new traits and in primary care, they are spawning new care models with significant implications for general internal medicine, internal medicine/pediatrics trained individuals and medicine subspecialties given the focus of these models on Medicare Advantage. Ultimately, changes in reimbursement and creative incentives will be two factors among many that will solidify the next stage of primary care in the United States.
