Family Medicine for Americas Health released its 7th update this week, updating family medicine organizations about its strategic and communications plans. The Family Medicine for Americas Health strategic plan holds to these guiding principles: Put the patient and family at the center–always. Now is the time for family medicine to take up a leadership role in primary care, including reforming payment in ways that make it possible for family physicians to offer patients and their families the highest quality primary care. Family medicine must clearly state its vision for the next 5 to 7 years and pursue actions specifically linked to strategies in six critical areas: practice, payment, workforce education, technology, research, and engagement. Family medicine can’t prove the value of primary care alone. Family medicine leaders must take a leadership role in building partnerships and alliances with a variety of stakeholders in the wider health care system–with patients, other primary care health professions and national policy organizations, among others. Read the 7th organizational update to learn more.
