Publisher's Synopsis
As a second generation Family Physician with 30 plus years of experience, Philip Briggs has expanded from his solo practice in Santa Fe in 1980 to a network of 14 clinics across Arizona and New Mexico. The solution that The Primary Solution portends is radical; Philip Briggs provides an outline for a clinical and business model of care that has the capability to: Extend patients' lives and improve their quality of life Solve the nation's primary care physician shortage Double the quality increase that NCQA PCMH recognition yields Cut global health costs by half Double the income of family physicians while enhancing their life style These goals are lofty, and seemingly unreachable, but study after study continues to confirm the impact of Patient-Centered Medical Home implementation and Dr. Briggs has built a clinical and business model to deliver better care to more patients while continuing to be profitable."
