| Popis: | Primary care is viewed both as the solution to better health care in the United States and as a threatened institution, beset by poor payment and difficult working conditions. Rhode Island has taken a direct approach to making primary care more effective for patients and more attractive for physicians. In 2009 the state's Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner developed "system affordability priorities" for Rhode Island's commercial insurers, including a directive to almost double the portion of their medical expenses devoted to primary care. Initial plans of those insurers to meet those expectations are now being implemented; this paper describes those plans. |
