Few Primary Care Physicians Lead Hospitals, Despite Their Immense Value: Systems Change and Delivery System Evolution Can Reverse This Trend
Primary care physicians (PCPs) inherently offer a tremendous range of skills that would serve them well as chief executive officers in hospitals.

The impact of the declining proportion of family physicians who attend deliveries on the provision of other perinatal care during pregnancy, postpartum, and neonatal periods is unclear. We found a strong association between stopping attending deliveries and stopping providing prenatal and postpartum care among family physicians, suggesting that policies which support family physicians to maintain a full scope of practice including all or some aspects of perinatal care may help alleviate shortages in the perinatal workforce and fill gaps in access to obstetric care.

Quality of Care for Latinx Children with Asthma: Associations with Language Concordance and Continuity of Care
Conclusion: Overall, Latinx children regardless of COC category or language concordance were more likely to receive the influenza vaccine. English-preferring Latinx children with persistent asthma received fewer inhaled steroid prescriptions compared with non-Hispanic White children. Panel chart review and seeing a practice partner might be one way to combat these inequities. (Source: Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine)

Models for Delivering Weight Management in Primary Care: Qualitative Results from the MOST Obesity Study
Conclusion: This study identified 4 models that may serve to overcome challenges in delivering weight management services in primary care. Based on practice characteristics, preferences, and resources, primary care practices can identify a model for successfully implementing weight management services that best fits their context and needs. It is time for primary care to truly address obesity care as the health issue it is and make it a standard of care for all patients with obesity.

Conclusions: Providing abortion care in primary care settings gives family physicians an opportunity to provide comprehensive care while improving access to meet community needs.
