Submitted By Anonymous, Created 01/03/2014 - 16:07
- The Need to Change Your Stripes – Health professionals need to embrace changing roles, responsibilities and relationships with others
- Focus on Wellness and Prevention – More emphasis on wellness, prevention and a comprehensive approach to the everyday needs
- The Community of Care – Our communities must be able to support and promote healthy lifestyles
- Access Redefined – We need to redefine access so that when someone calls the health care provider, the conversation starts with, “How can we help you?”
- The Cultural, Social and Economic Context of Health – Optimum outcomes for patients must begin to incorporate the context in which they live
- StrategicDistribution of the Work – The part of primary care practices’ everyday work that relates to “rules-based” decision-making should be moved from physicians to other members of the care team
- Care is About Relationships, Not Locations – To maximize outcomes for patients, we must promote and enhance continuous healing relationships with providers and care teams
- Risk-Stratified Care Management – Risk-stratified care management and care coordination for those who need the most help will be the new required competency for most primary care practices
- Consolidation, Integration and Market Forces – Tremendous pressure for consolidation and aggregation of health care providers and services will continue near-term
- The Ultimate Imperative – Someone else is already succeeding in everything that you think is not possible
