The Future of Primary Care: How Primary Care Can Be Integrated into a Modernized Collaborative Care Model
There is a tension with the integrated model surrounding primary care, specifically how it currently functions and how it could be remodeled to better serve patients. Gain a better understanding of how we can optimize primary care in an integrated care system. Take back practical insights into how to:
- Take advantage of the special role primary care physicians play in the patient’s journey
- Develop alternative primary care models, based on other integrated care systems in similar countries
- Integrate appropriate technology into the integrated care model that optimizes patient / physician engagement – and outcomes
Determine how to improve primary care collaboration and patient outcomes in an integrated care setting
