Abstract

In May 2021, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) collectively amplified the potential of high-quality primary care as a solution to a disparate, fractured health care system.1 This solution can lower costs, improve utilization patterns, and reduce mortality. The comprehensive, well-written, intensely referenced consensus report refines the definition of primary care and outlines an implementation plan. NASEM refocuses primary care in the context of relationships, signaling that the foundation of quality care is people, not science and systems.
