Resumen del libro
| Publisher Summary 1 |
| Bodenheimer and Grumbach, health care policy experts who are themselves practicing primary care physicians, look at problems impacting primary care providers, including high stress among providers, a lack of prompt access to care, and challenges in managing chronic disease. They offer advice and techniques for improving primary care practice in spite of the lack of a national primary care policy. Numerous appendices provide organizational resources, practice-assessment instruments, patient surveys, resources on cultural competence, self-management support tools, and summaries of research on primary care teams and the chronic care model. The book will be of interest to clinicians and trainees, health administrators, public health professionals, and policy experts. The authors are both affiliated with the Center for Excellence in Primary Care at the University of California-San Francisco. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
