Family Physicians as Team Leaders: "Time" to Share the Care
Preventing Chronic Disease, 04/20/09
Yarnall KSH et al. - There are not enough primary care physicians to meet the recommended care guidelines within the current model of a single physician providing all required preventive, chronic disease, and acute care to patients in his or her practice. As the number of guidelines and tests increase, as the population ages, and as chronic disease rates increase, the current model of health care delivery will be further strained. New models of team and community care can provide solutions to the problem of time, even within the current reimbursement system. Studies of new practice models and community engagement are needed to evaluate how well they provide the recommended care and to answer the larger question of whether fully implementing the available recommendations for preventive and chronic disease care can truly improve the health of the population.
