“The current prognosis of primary care in the United States is dire; the American College of Physicians warns of an “impending collapse of primary care” and The New York Times has declared a “crisis of care on the front line of health.” As with any complex condition, there is no single cause of, nor solution to, all of primary care’s ills. This report is intended to highlight the range of root causes of the current crisis in primary care and identify a set of innovations that could enhance the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of primary care and discusses important issues related to changes required in health professional education.”
