- Abstract:
- ISSUE. An array of care gaps and structural barriers inhibits the U.S. primary health care system from fully meeting the needs of women across the life course. Recently, new models of technology-enabled primary health care have emerged, some of which seek to address these gaps and barriers. While these innovations have promise, many of them operate outside the traditional health care system and are only accessible, in their current form, to a narrow segment of consumers. GOALS. To identify innovative care models, business models, and technologies for improving primary health care for women across ages, races/ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and to recommend ways that policymakers, payers, entrepreneurs, clinical leaders, and investors can accelerate reform. METHODS. Literature review, interviews with experts, and an all-day expert convening with innovators, primary care providers, advocates, policymakers, and payers. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS. Policymakers, payers, entrepreneurs, clinical leaders, and investors each have a role to play in bringing about the changes necessary to achieve a more responsive primary health care system for women across the life course within the next 10 years.
