Small Independent Primary Care Practices Serving Socially Vulnerable Urban Populations
CONCLUSIONS: Small independent practices serving vulnerable patients in urban communities are surviving because deeply committed physicians are making personal sacrifices. Health equity-focused policies could decrease the burden on these physicians and bolster independent practices so that socially vulnerable patients continue to have options when seeking primary care.PMID:38527816 | DOI:10.1370/afm.3068 (Source: Annals of Family Medicine)

What AHRQ Learned While Working to Transform Primary Care
Ann Fam Med. 2024 Mar-Apr;22(2):161-166. doi: 10.1370/afm.3090.ABSTRACTBuilding on previous efforts to transform primary care, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) launched EvidenceNOW: Advancing Heart Health in 2015. This 3-year initiative provided external quality improvement support to small and medium-size primary care practices to implement evidence-based cardiovascular care. Despite challenges, results from an independent national evaluation demonstrated that the EvidenceNOW model successfully boosted the capacity of primary care practices to improve quality of care, while helping to advance heart he...

Successful demand management in diagnostic immunology testing
Conclusions
Embedding algorithms in the ordering software can be acceptable to clinicians and have a major and sustained impact on overuse or underuse of tests. The algorithms can be replicated by other hospital trusts. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pathology)
