This book provides a comprehensive and systematic state-of-the
science review of major primary care delivery models, how they
address specific needs of older adults, and available evidence for
their efficacy. Written by experts in the field, this book explores
the patient-centered medical home model (PCMH) in depth and dives
into the complexities of the "medical neighborhood". It describes
and analyzes primary care specifically directed toward special,
complex populations, such as the Health Home for safety net
patients with mental health needs, and intensive primary care for
older adults. It reviews an array of primary care models related to
dual eligible patients including the GRACE primary care
consultation model and PACE models. It describes primary care with
Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants and explores
in-depth the massive effort within the VA to develop the Patient
Activated Care Team (PACT), a VA form of the PCMH that also has
several offshoots that address complex older veterans and veterans
with severe mental illness. Finally, it illuminates rarely
discussed primary care that occurs within the home and within
long-term care. Throughout the entire book, experts navigate the
workforce, care quality, and financing challenges of primary care
for older adults. Primary Care for Older Adults is a valuable
resource for clinicians, researchers, patients, caregivers and
their advocates, and policy makers who have an interest in
designing, promoting, and implementing high quality primary care
for older adults.
