Not too/Not at all Stressful Somewhat Stressful Extremely/Very Stressful
• Strengthening primary care could be key to sustainable quality and spending
• Managing the care of patients with complex needs will require primary care that is highly capable:
– Multidisciplinary teams
– Email access, after-hours care and home visits
– Effective use of health information technology, and
– Integrating care across and outside of the health care system
• Re-designing delivery systems to improve care for patients with complex conditions will require trial and evaluation to understand what works best
• As reforms disrupt current systems, managing the effects of reforms is critical
• It’s important for policymakers to hear from doctors on the frontlines
• Looking to other countries offers an opportunity for valuable cross-national lessons to be learned
