| Abstrakt: | Improving population health requires the contribution of many entities including state and local governments, hospitals, community organizations, health centers, and private practices. Primary care practices have the potential to play a key role in improving population health. While sporadic, primary care practices engage in a spectrum of practice- and community-based population health activities. Community-based activities are largely driven by altruistic motivations of physicians and staff. Patient and disease registries and access to comprehensive patient data are critical to improving population health. Guidance is needed for practices to engage in population health initiatives and appropriate incentives to motivate practices to address population health issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
