Saint Luke's Health System’s Post

Thank you to Zeev Neuwirth, MD for writing this important book, “Beyond the Walls: Megatrends, Movements, and Market Disruptors Transforming American Healthcare”. My copy of the book is already dog-eared and its stories have given me an important boost of energy and inspiration as I work both on the front lines of #primarycare at Boston Medical Center (BMC) as well as locally and nationally on healthcare policy reform.  Section 2 of this book- highlighting the humanistic healthcare movements- is my favorite. How can we truly heal individuals and communities if we are not focusing on and caring for the whole person? Two simple but revolutionary questions for patients that are embedded in VHA’s (Veterans Health Administration) Whole Health initiative: 1. What is most important to you, in your life, right now? 2. What is the thing that you would be willing and able to do today or tomorrow to move closer to that? Imagine if our entire healthcare system could align around asking - and pursuing- these core questions with patients. Zeev Neuwirth, MD book helps us all in remembering that these things are all possible, doable and up to us to make happen!

Getting a complete view of primary care quality is challenging. Until now, a view of health outcomes performance at the granular level of the primary care practice has not existed in California. That's why in January 2022, four large healthcare purchasers joined together with IHA, Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH)'s California Quality Collaborative (CQC), and participating health plans for the Advanced Primary Care Measurement Pilot. Read the issue brief to explore the pilot results and the path forward: https://hubs.li/Q02gPxw40
