Download or read book Primary Care Physicians written by Committee to Study Strategies for Supporting Graduate Medical Education for Primary Care Physicians in Ambulatory Settings and published by . This book was released on 1989-01-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the result of a study by a committee charged with developing strategies for financing graduate medical education (GME) for primary care (general internal medicine, general pediatrics, and family practice) practitioners in ambulatory settings. Historically, systems of financing for most physicians in GME have favored inpatient and specialty education, making it difficult for primary care practitioner students to receive increased training in ambulatory settings. The study consisted of two meetings; at the first meeting, a program for a workshop was developed. At the second meeting, the workshop was implemented (April 18-19, 1989), with over 50 participants. The resulting recommendations are presented in the report's three chapters. The first, "Concerns about Primary Care Residency Training," outlines concerns about the production of primary care physicians to meet the nation's future requirements. Chapter 2 is titled "Costs and Revenues for Primary Care Residencies in Ambulatory Settings." Chapter 3, "Options and Recommendations for Financing Graduate Medical Education for Primary Care Physicians in Ambulatory Care Settings," lays out the committee's recommendations and discusses existing barriers to financing and criteria for evaluating policy options. Appendix A contains the workshop program and proceedings. Appendix B contains four additional papers commissioned by the group: "The Cost of Graduate Medical Education in Outpatient Settings" (Judith R. Lave); "Financing of Medical and Graduate Medical Education: Issues in Primary Care Education Support" (Ruth S. Hanft); "Financing Graduate Medical Education in Primary Care: Options for Change (Sandra C. Peinado and John M. Eisenberg); and "Financing Primary Care Residency Training: Examples and Lessons from Successful Programs" (Robert A. Walkington). (JB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second in a series of publications from the Institute of Medicine's Quality of Health Care in America project Today's health care providers have more research findings and more technology available to them than ever before. Yet recent reports have raised serious doubts about the quality of health care in America. Crossing the Quality Chasm makes an urgent call for fundamental change to close the quality gap. This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: A set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system. A set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships. A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality. Key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.

Social Work in Ambulatory Care assists readers who need to develop, plan, and implement new social work roles for a changing health care system. Chapters focus on the implications of health care reform, based on policy or economic mandates, and provide specific examples of how social service providers can approach health care in a new era.

Readers will be challenged to plan new social work roles in the future--roles that help advance social work’s own definitions of health and wellness. Specific examples of creative roles for social work are described and several of the most important areas this guidebook analyzes are: the health care system under siege support groups managed care emergency room community based care For social workers in health settings, struggling with the questions of relevance, growth, and worth in a changing environment, Social Work in Ambulatory Care provokes new ideas about health care for the future.
