Another Step Along the Way to Understanding Primary Care
Abstract
Primary care improves overall performance of health care systems In late 1996 the US Institute of Medicine reported the results of a two year study focused on the future of primary care, entitled Primary Care: America's Heath in a New Era. This study was conducted by a diverse group including representation from health plans, health maintenance organisations, dentistry, nursing, medicine (including obstetrics, intemal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, and European general practice), public health, health economics and those seeking to measure the quality of health care services.
