Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring that members of society are healthy and reaching their full potential requires the prevention of disease and injury; the promotion of health and well-being; the assurance of conditions in which people can be healthy; and the provision of timely, effective, and coordinated health care. Achieving substantial and lasting improvements in population health will require a concerted effort from all these entities, aligned with a common goal. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examine the integration of primary care and public health. Primary Care and Public Health identifies the best examples of effective public health and primary care integration and the factors that promote and sustain these efforts, examines ways by which HRSA and CDC can use provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to promote the integration of primary care and public health, and discusses how HRSA-supported primary care systems and state and local public health departments can effectively integrate and coordinate to improve efforts directed at disease prevention. This report is essential for all health care centers and providers, state and local policy makers, educators, government agencies, and the public for learning how to integrate and improve population health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With family doctors increasingly overburdened, bureaucratized, and burned out, how can the field change before it's too late? Over the past few decades, as American medical practice has become increasingly specialized, the number of generalists—doctors who care for the whole person—has plummeted. On paper, family medicine sounds noble; in practice, though, the field is so demanding in scope and substance, and the health system so favorable to specialists, that it cannot be fulfilled by most doctors. In Searching for the Family Doctor, Timothy J. Hoff weaves together the early history of the family practice specialty in the United States with the personal narratives of modern-day family doctors. By formalizing this area of practice and instituting specialist-level training requirements, the originators of family practice hoped to increase respect for generalists, improve the pipeline of young medical graduates choosing primary care, and, in so doing, have a major positive impact on the way patients receive care. Drawing on in-depth interviews with fifty-five family doctors, Hoff shows us how these medical professionals have had their calling transformed not only by the indifferent acts of an unsupportive health care system but by the hand of their own medical specialty—a specialty that has chosen to pursue short- over long-term viability, conformity over uniqueness, and protectionism over collaboration. A specialty unable to innovate to keep its membership cohesive and focused on fulfilling the generalist ideal. The family doctor, Hoff explains, was conceived of as a powered-up version of the "country doctor" idea. At a time when doctor-patient relationships are evaporating in the face of highly transactional, fast-food-style medical practice, this ideal seems both nostalgic and revolutionary. However, the realities of highly bureaucratic reimbursement and quality-of-care requirements, educational debt, and ongoing consolidation of the old-fashioned independent doctor's office into corporate health systems have stacked the deck against the altruists and true believers who are drawn to the profession of family practice. As more family doctors wind up working for big health care corporations, their career paths grow more parochial, balkanizing the specialty. Their work roles and professional identities are increasingly niche-oriented. Exploring how to save primary care by giving family doctors a fighting chance to become the generalists we need in our lives, Searching for the Family Doctor is required reading for anyone interested in the troubled state of modern medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much is new in Family Medicine since the last edition of our textbook. For example, not only is the therapy of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) much different than a few years ago; the epidemiol ogy of the disease has also changed and more than half of the family physicians in a rural state such as Oregon have already managed patients with HIV disease or AIDS. 1 There are new immunization recommendations for children and new antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections. Computers are bringing medical informatics and on-line consultation into office practice. Medicare physician payment reform is underway and the reality of rationing medical care has been recognized. There has been a recent increase in student interest in a family practice career,2 coincidental with a Council on Graduate Medical Education (COGME) recommendation that at least 50 percent of all residency graduates 3 should enter practice as generalists. Also there is increasing awareness of the need for a 4 Center for Family Practice and Primary Care at the National Institutes of Health. This all-new fourth edition is intended to present the scientific and practical basis of family medicine with special attention to what's new in family medicine. The emphasis is on how the physician provides continuing and comprehensive care for persons of all ages, with clinical content selected from the perspective offamily physicians. The format ofthe book, like the practice of family medicine, continues to change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's healthcare system in the twenty-first century faces a variety of pressures and challenges, not the least of which is that posed by the increasingly multicultural nature of American society itself. Large numbers among the Hmong, immigrants from the landlocked Asian nation of Laos, continue to prefer their own ancient medical traditions. That these Hmong Americans should continue to adhere to a tradition of folk medicine, rather than embrace the modern healthcare system of America, poses questions that must be answered. This book takes up the task of examining Hmong American concepts of health, illness and healing, and looks at the Hmong American experience with conventional medicine. In so doing, it identifies factors that either obstruct or enable healthcare delivery to the Hmong, specifically a target sample of Hmong Americans resident in Colorado. Drawing upon scientific methods of data collection, the research reveals attitudes currently held by a group of American citizens toward health and medicine which run the gamut from the very modern to those which have prevailed in the highlands of Southeast Asia for centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specialization has driven medical practice over the last century. Expanding knowledge has increased the physician workforce but has decreased the proportion of general family doctors, leaving rural areas with critical physician shortages. In 1978 almost half of family physicians delivered babies. By 2005 this number decreased to 23 percent. Although many recognize the broad medical and surgical skills required in remote Africa, few recognize the need for similar skills among doctors in rural America. These physicians blend family and emergency medicine with specific skills from obstetrics, gynecology, and general surgery. Many family doctors provide extensive women’s health services, including cancer screening, prenatal care, and cesarean delivery. This work is written for these physicians. In rural areas, most women cannot leave their communities to have children. Extensive travel for prenatal care and delivery has detrimental economic and social consequences. Although rural counties provide quality care, they cannot afford an array of technicians, nurses, and physicians trained in obstetrics, gynecology, surgery, neonatology, and critical care. Drawing from my mentors’ and family’s experiences in Texas and Tennessee, I realized that there was no formal ultrasound curriculum for family doctors providing rural obstetrical care. The majority of texts have been written for ultrasound technicians performing examinations and subspecialists interpreting the acquired images. Historically, family physicians have played a prominent role in obstetrical patient safety and care, as seen through the continued success of the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) curriculum. Although the ALSO course provides valuable training, I argue that a formal program for physician performed obstetrical ultrasound is equally, if not more, important. Ultrasound is the basis for obstetrical risk stratification. Without basic skills, physicians may inadvertently put mothers and children at risk. For example, a physician in west Texas should not trend beta hCG levels over two days when evaluating a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Any suspected threat to pregnancy should be investigated immediately at the point of care to avoid unnecessary delays that may lead to maternal or fetal death. This text serves as a rational but not exhaustive introduction to obstetrical ultrasound for the physician providing women’s health services in remote or resource-poor settings. This text distills volumes of information found in advanced obstetrical textbooks as well as recent American and European literature. The referenced articles come from a variety of journals and represent many specialties. Ultimately, we desire to promote patient safety and improve care and welcome any suggestions or ideas that help achieve this goal. Thank you for selecting this text; we hope it serves you and your patients well.
