"The proof is in. This document shows that primary care that is more comprehensive, integrated and coordinated, that follows the model of the patient centered medical home, delivers better care and better quality at lower costs. For anyone who questions this, I challenge you to prove otherwise," Paul Grundy, MD, M.P.H, President, Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative, Director of Healthcare Technology and Strategic Initiatives, IBM
