    Lesson 1: People don't usually experience illness in siloes, but health care is built in siloes. When getting care for one thing, we typically need another, but can't get it. That needs to change. @ImprovingPHChttp://bit.ly/2nOqpTV

        The #1 thing I heard from Family Medicine physicians countrywide when serving as AAFP national president was “ I need more time with each patient”. FM docs do 1 in 5 US visits: face time, continuity of care, building relationships with patients is vital.

        Move all appointments (except urgents) to 30 minutes & accept a 5% pay cut. Most groups will accept this. Waiting for them to change its passive & not in their interest. Beat burnout by setting your own standard.

        Many colleagues choosing #directprimarycare for just this reason, taking back control of their patient care. 5% pay decrease untenable for many colleagues however. They already do so much that is uncompensated. Perhaps @Atul_Gawande can support #DPC

        DPC is great for the well off but who will care for the low income populations?

        DPC, from I have seen, is more affordable for low income than many current health insurance premiums. DPC is distinct from concierge care which is geared to high income, two different things.

        The health care system needs a strong dose of health literacy leading to a truly integrative approach to health.

        Absolutely...primary healthcare providers need to move away from being ‘gatekeepers’...A restructuring to a central and continuous role in the care of the individual and family at all times. That would need a healthcare overhaul in the US!

        Knowledge is a barrier. Strategic decisions for common scenarios are complex, and nuance may only be accessible to experts. PCPs can’t be expert in all areas & spending more time with patient won’t help. Need better communication between specialist & PCP to help PCP participate.

        I often wondered why health insurance separates dental and vision. Next thing you know, there will other separated insurances. Like one for you appendix, one for you lungs. Doesn’t make sense. Everything in the body is connected.

        Patient Centered Medical Home great model for this, also integrated delivery networks. Many answers to these challenges already work well in local and regional formats. Your challenge, sir, will be to make it work on a grander scale.

        Totally agree with @Atul_Gawande Healthcare needs to put the patient in the center of care with Natural conservative steps taken first like Physical Therapy as treatment before meds or injections for MSDs. Care coordination is key for patient care. #ptcentered

        Yes, YES! Patients experience healthcare and hospitals horizontally, but we have built healthcare into VERTICAL silos!
