What is Primary Care? First Contact & Access to Care • initial point of care for all medical needs • Accessible days, nights, weekends • Timely appointments Comprehensive • Accountable for addressing large majority of healthcare needs • Recruits other providers to care team as warranted by clinical care needs • Considers physical, psychological and emotional needs Continuity of Care • Develops sustained partnership with patients over long period of time • Sustains involvement in care with other providers and institutions • Follows through with patient communications Coordination of Care • Sources and arranges referrals and services with other providers • Coordinates decision making with healthcare team to promote best outcomes for patients • Coordinates communications with patients to promote patient understanding and participation Holistic • Person-centered to respect beliefs, preferences, psychological as well as physical needs • Engages family and community resources After:- Malcolm Peterson, ACP, IOM, AIM 1980;84:843-51 - IOM , National Academy Press, 1996; Starfield, B.: Millbank Memorial Fund, 2005
What is Patient-Centered Primary care? Patient Engagement • Recast role of clinicians to provide more counseling and advising • Provide timely access for patients to resources, information and tools • Assistance with self-care and behavior change • Use of personal health records and easy patient access to their medical records HIT & Clinical Information Systems • Enable: evidence-based care, practice-based learning and quality improvement • Utilization of disease registries, reminders/alerts to physicians and patients • Clinical decision support on diagnostic and therapeutic options • Facilitation condition management, adherence monitoring • eHR, eRx, on demand access to patient data, lab and imaging results Provider Transparency • Performance data disclosure and access • Discount and price disclosure • Patient and peer assessment reporting Systematic Patient Feedback • Ongoing, routine practice feedback from patients • Targeted improvement planning, measurement and reporting based on practice feedback After:- Davis K., Schoenbaum S.C., Audet A-M., A 2020 Vision of Patient-Centered Primary Care, Commonwealth Fund, 2005
Impacts • Primary Care Attributes • First contact • Continuous • Comprehensive • Coordinates care • Patient-focused & long term • Family & community orientationIncludes: family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics • Improves major health outcomes – supply primary care physicians (PCP) per 10,000 population • Reduced adult mortality: total, heart disease, stroke & cancer: an increase of 1 PCP/10,000 reduces overall mortality by 5.3% saving 127,617 lives • Reduced infant mortality & low birth weight • Reduced hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive diagnoses • Improves delivery preventive services: primary care attributes significantly associated with being up to date on: • Immunization, screening, health habit counseling • States with higher ratios PCPs have lower rates smoking, obesity • Improves outcomes and access to needed health services for poor: reduces the disparity in health outcomes of minorities and the poor • Adverse health effects of income inequality are reduced by access to primary care (e.g. overall mortality, infant mortality, low birth weight) • Reduces health care costs: ratio of PCPs per population is associated with • Lower hospitalization rates for total US and for Medicare beneficiaries • Lower costs of care for common illnesses compared to specialists • Lower total cost of health services, lower Medicare spending Why Do We Care at IBM About Primary Care

…the need for primary care is great and its growing • Prevalence rate of chronic disease is very high and it is rising • 45% of US population (120 million Americans) has a chronic medical condition • 50% of Americians with a chronic medical condition (60 million) have more than one chronic medical condition • Within 10 years, the number of Americans with at least one chronic medical condition will grow by 25% to 150 million • Older age population: growing rapidly and higher rates of chronic disease • By 2030, 20% of Americans will be over the age of 65 • 83% of Medicare beneficiaries have one or more chronic conditions • 23% have 5+ chronic conditions • Between 2000 and 2010 population over 85+ will increase 50% • 92% of adults 80+ have 1 chronic condition; 73% have 2+ conditions
…but Int. Medicine primary care physician supply is shrinking • Demand for internists will increase by 38% between 2000 and 2020 from 106,000 to nearly 147,000) • In 2003: • First year IM residents only 19% planned primary care careers • Third year IM residents only 27% planned to practice general IM down from 54% in 1998 • Aging internal medicine workforce: 35% of physicians nationwide are over the age of 55 • 2004 ACP study: after 10 years practice 21% IM primary care physicians leave practice versus 5% for specialists • High debt for medical education and declining compensation for primary care: • > 80% of graduating medical students carry debt • Median for private medical schools: $160k • Median for public medical schools: $120k • 5% have debt > $200k

Patient-Centered Primary Care Pilot • Superb access to care. Patients can easily make appointments and select the day and time. Waiting times are short. E-mail and telephone consultations are offered. Off-hours service is available. • Patient engagement in care. Patients have the option of being informed and engaged partners in their care. Practices provide information on treatment plans, preventive and follow-up care reminders, access to medical records, assistance with self-care, and counseling. • Clinical information systemsthat support high-quality care, practice-based learning, and quality improvement. Practices maintain patient registries; monitor adherence to treatment; have easy access to lab and test results; and receive reminders, decision support, and information on recommended treatments. • Care coordination. Specialist care is coordinated, and systems are in place to prevent errors that occur when multiple physicians are involved. Follow-up and support is provided. • Integrated and comprehensive team care.There is a free flow of communication among physicians, nurses, and other health professionals. Duplication of tests and procedures is avoided. • Routine patient feedback to doctors. Practices take advantage of low-cost, Internet-based patient surveys to learn from patients and inform treatment plans. • Publicly available information. Patients have accurate, standardized information on physicians to help them choose a practice that will meet their needs.
