Models of Faculty Involvement in Primary Care Residency Teaching Clinics
Through site visits to 42 teaching clinics associated with family and internal medicine residency programs during 2013–2018, the authors observed a spectrum of faculty involvement. In this Perspective, they describe and share examples of the 3 faculty models they identified. Some programs have a small, focused faculty whose members spend at least 5 half-day sessions per week seeing patients or precepting residents in the clinic. Others have a lar…

Health Coaching
Four principles undergird the ethical provision of health care: beneficence, nonmaleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice [1]. We believe that these golden rules cannot be implemented for every patient in our current system of health care. In particular, the stresses engulfing primary care thwart attempts to comply with the four principles. A new model is needed to transform primary care so that these ethical obligations can be met. This new…

Coordinating Care — A Perilous Journey through the Health Care System
Patients with chronic illness often receive care from multiple providers in multiple settings and require coordination of their complex care. This report assesses the quality of the coordination of care, describes barriers to coordinated care, and discusses some solutions to improve care coordination in the United States.

The Movement for Universal Health Insurance
Before 1971, all proposals for universal health insurance were based on private sector financing and administration. After 1971, universal health insurance plans relying on the private sector complicated efforts of the universal health insurance movement. To forge as broad a movement for universal health insurance as possible, it may be worthwhile for universal health insurance advocates of different persuasions to seek common ground on the basis…
Improving Primary Care for Patients With Chronic Illness
This article reviews research evidence showing to what extent the chronic care model can improve the management of chronic conditions (using diabetes as an example) and reduce health care costs. Thirty-two of 39 studies found that interventions based on chronic care model components improved at least 1 process or outcome measure for diabetic patients. Regarding whether chronic care model interventions can reduce costs, 18 of 27 studies concerned …
Improving Primary Care for Patients With Chronic Illness
The chronic care model is a guide to higher-quality chronic illness management within primary care. The model predicts that improvement in its 6 interrelated components-self-management support, clinical information systems, delivery system redesign, decision support, health care organization, and community resources-can produce system reform in which informed, activated patients interact with prepared, proactive practice teams. Case studies are p…
Patient Self-management of Chronic Disease in Primary Care
Patients with chronic conditions make day-to-day decisions about--self-manage--their illnesses. This reality introduces a new chronic disease paradigm: the patient-professional partnership, involving collaborative care and self-management education. Self-management education complements traditional patient education in supporting patients to live the best possible quality of life with their chronic condition. Whereas traditional patient education…

The fruits of empire rot on the vine
Mission Neighborhood Health Center
In the 1960's, working class communities all over the country, particularly minority inner city neighborhoods, exploded in violent anger. The federal government responded with a pacification or cooling-out program: the War on Poverty. The War on Poverty provided federal funds to bring a few programs into the community, to create a few jobs, and to buy off working class leaders who were a threat to those in power. In the course of this program of …

The Poverty of the State
State and local governments entered the 1970s in a state of deep crisis. All states made or considered welfare cuts in 1971. At least 20 state welfare departments began 1971 with deficits. Twenty-four state Medicaid programs were in the red, and many are denying health services to the poor. San Francisco county welfare recipients were cut back to $88 per month. Twenty-six city recreation halls in Cleveland were closed, and 85 percent of recreatio…
Mobile Units
The fundamental problem of rural health is the extremely low density of health professionals per unit of surface area, resulting in large distances between patient and services. To deliver services in rural areas either stationary facilities or mobile units can be used. The underdeveloped world has had considerable experience with different varieties of mobile units. From this experience, certain principles can be derived which are useful in choo…
