The Present and Future of Primary Care Medicine

An InTimeTV (www.intimetv.com) Insights In Medicine video with Dr. C. Anderson Hedberg (former President of the American College of Physicians).

We discussed quite a few topics on the present and future of primary care including the new medical home for primary care model -- the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative. The topics covered included: * The importance of primary care in ensuring quality and reducing cost * The contrast of the U.S. healthcare system with that of other developed nations with respect to primary care * The challenges of recruiting medical students to enter primary care and the programs to address that * The Advanced Medical Home concept or Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (see http://patientcenteredprimarycare.org/ for more information).

Some of the topics we discussed can also be found in an excellent review published in Medscape by Dr. Richard Glickman-Simon.
