Abstract:
New ideas focus on redesigning primary care. Spurred in part by mounting evidence that mediocre care is the rule rather than the exception, a number of health care experts are pointing to primary care as the ideal place to initiate change. In fact, some suggest that this is the ideal place to deliver traditional DM services--particularly in light of the fact that as the population ages, chronic disease is on the increase. Find out how some leading voices in the debate hope to re-tool primary care so that it can deliver much more in the way of ongoing care and support.
