State Innovations to Transform and Link Small Practices
Federal and state governments play a significant role in strengthening the delivery of primary care, however current efforts have disproportionally been focused on large or multi-specialty practices. This report examines the roles states are playing to reorganize the delivery of primary and chronic care to produce more efficient and effective care, particularly in small practices. Through short case studies developed via interviews with state officials and physicians the authors highlight several state-based initiatives that seek to create high performing health systems by targeting local and regional strengths. Additionally, authors identified five themes critical to enacting strategic delivery system reforms.
