Area of Science:

Health Services Research
Primary Care Delivery Models
Military Health Systems

Background:

Traditional primary care models face challenges in optimizing patient access and population health management.
Military healthcare settings require efficient and effective primary care delivery systems for service members and families.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a novel patient-centered primary care delivery method in a military family practice.
To assess the impact of a multidisciplinary team on patient outcomes and healthcare utilization.

Main Methods:

A pilot program involving approximately 2,500 patients in a military family practice.
Formation of a patient management team comprising a registered nurse, registered nurse case manager, and primary care provider.
Tracking of key performance indicators including access, utilization, continuity, productivity, Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures, and patient satisfaction.

Main Results:

Patients in the pilot program demonstrated increased access to primary care (p < 0.05) and reduced urgent care visits (p < 0.05).
A significant decrease in appointment no-show rates (p < 0.001) was observed.
Substantial improvements in HEDIS measures, including colon cancer screening, LDL control, and breast cancer screening, were noted (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

A patient-centered, team-based approach to primary care delivery can significantly enhance outpatient care access.
This model shows potential for improving population health maintenance and key quality indicators within military healthcare.
Changes in staffing and care focus can lead to measurable improvements in healthcare efficiency and effectiveness.
