“If you look around the globe, the one common denominator in all
successful healthcare systems (in the sense that they deliver good
outcomes for a reasonable cost) is that they all have universal access
to comprehensive primary care. Multiple studies show that if you
increase the ratio of primary care doctors to a population, their
morbidity and mortality go down; whereas, if you increase the ratio of
specialists, those measures actually go up. No one wants to be sick, and
people don’t enjoy getting healthcare, so that primary care, when it
works correctly, helps keep people out of trouble so that they don’t
have to get late and unnecessary care that is expensive and can be
harmful.” - Erika Bliss, M.D., serves as CEO/co-owner of Qliance Management Inc., and president of Qliance Medical Group of Washington DC. |
