“While most of emergency
preparedness focus tends to be on hospitals and nursing homes, a health
system that relies more on community-based care needs commensurate
emergency preparedness resources at the community level. Most
post-disaster health needs are primary care preventable/treatable (fully
96% of post-Katrina hospital cases were). Primary care practices that
can stay open and operating during a public emergency or disaster help
reduce the number of “worried well” that flock to hospitals during
disasters, saving critical hospital capacity for truly critical cases.”
Ronda Kotelchuck, Founding CEO, Primary Care Development Corporation
(PCDC).

The U.S. has fewer
primary care providers than any other industrialized country -- 30 per
100,000 patients, compared to 80 for the UK and >150 for France and
Germany.
