Primary Care Occupational Therapy: How Can We Get There? Remaining Challenges in Patient-Centered Medical Homes. Am J Occup Ther. 2019 Sep/Oct;73(5):7305090010p1-7305090010p6 Authors: Pape SB, Muir S Abstract Passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010 mandated reform of the United States' existing primary care system. As part of this reform, advanced practice models, including the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, expanded, with the goal of increasing the use of interprofessional teams. Integrating occupational therapy was promoted as an opportunity to enhance the value of care provided in these redesigned primary care practices. However, occupational therapy's presence in primary care is still extremely limited. PMID: 31484018 [PubMed - in process]
