- Abstract:
- The movement for a revitalized primary care infrastructure envisions transformed primary care practices featuring health information technology (HIT), innovative team approaches, and other new models of care. Key policy questions include whether small, independent office practices have the capability and capacity to undergo this type of transformation and whether creation of more organized health care delivery systems is a precondition for the transformation of medical homes and accountable care organizations. The following brief highlights the challenges likely to develop as medical homes and accountable care organizations emerge in the care delivery landscape, and discusses possible solutions to resolve those challenges.
