Reforming Primary Care for a 21st Century Health Care System

A Conversation with Patrick Conway, MD, Ishani Ganguli, MD, MPH, Linda A. McCauley, PhD, RN, J. Nwando Olayiwola, MD, MPH, and Ellen-Marie Whelan, PhD, moderated by Rachel M. Werner, MD, PhD

12:00p.m. – 1:00p.m. February 4, 2022 Virtual Event

Plagued by an overreliance on fee-for-service reimbursement and chronic financial underinvestment as compared to other countries, the primary care sector in the United States has been a target of reform for decades. We’ve seen an undervaluing of the primary care workforce, slow adoption of primary care alternative payment models, and a continued focus on and bias toward use of specialty care. How can we reform primary care to be a sustainable, efficient, and equitable system? Join our panel of experts as they discuss the path toward transforming this critical piece of our health care system.

Supported by the Charles C. Leighton, MD Memorial Lecture Fund.
