THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN HEALTH CARE TODAY
Obamacare and the changes it brings could save our primary care
doctors from extinction. Or it could crush them.
Imagine health care without your "Familiar Physician." Every time
you're sick, you're a stranger, enduring long waits for medical
treatment from someone who may never have seen you before.
This is what the future could look like ... because there's a
tempest bearing down on primary care medicine.
It's powered by frustrated doctors retiring early with not enough
physicians in the pipeline to replace them; more than 30 million
newly insured patients; an aging population; increasing
regulations; and it's converging with a sea change in health care
reform.
It's the perfect storm that endangers primary care medicine and
threatens to drive our trusted familiar physicians toward
extinction.
Just as primary care is about to collapse, here comes IBM.
The patch of fair weather within the coming storm is a care
delivery model called the "medical home," now quietly embedded in
the heart of health care reform.
This is the story of the dedicated people who helped build the
"medical home" and implement it on a national level -- the enduring
vision of IBM's Dr. Martin Sepulveda and the powerful advocacy of
his colleague IBM's Dr. Paul Grundy.
And it's told through the unique perspective of Dr. Peter Anderson,
a pioneer in team care medicine and a champion of primary care
whose efforts to create a better model of primary care delivery
parallels and supports the development of the "medical home."
Their efforts show us that passion and inspiration can remain at
the heart of health care in the future. As we move toward that
future learn what you can do to help assure that the "Familiar
Physician," the basis for a strong physician-patient relationship,
survives the coming storm.
Give this book to your doctor. And hurry. You might just save his
or her career.
