Going back to the future, for health care XXIst century

  • Steadfast Flexibility of Care
  • Equality (delivered quality)
  • Equity (individual needs)
  • Rediscovering ‘old’ values
  • Presentation
  • Ecology of Medical Care
  • Two research examples
  • Conclusion: integrated primary

care

Challenges in delivering health care

  • Specialty model
  • Disease specific, a doctor for every disease
  • Technology, supplier driven
  • Disease in isolation
  • Disease-mechanism
  • Biochemical determinants
  • Episodes in isolation
  • Disuptive care
  • Body – mind anomaly

Global Perspective

common denominator

  • Health Systems differ
  • Enhance, impede roles & functions
  • Perverse incentives
  • Mission health care generic
  • ‘Ecology of medical care’
  • Morbidity in context
  • Variation in care
  • System consequence, no discipline

characteristic

  • Primary care
  • Secondary care
  • Role Patients
  • Health care structure

Health care policy move

  • From hospital to primary

care

  • From specialist to

community

  • From professional to

selfcare

  • Societal perspective

‘Reach’ of Primary Care

  • Primary care morbidity
  • Unique domain illness,

disease

  • Population perspective
  • Needs, intersectorial
  • Patient perspective
  • Personal doctor
  • Empowerment, needs vs.

demands

  • System perspective
  • Navigating resources

Two emprirical examples:

Does the epidemiological setting matter?

A-priory chance Comparing hypertension treatment of physicians internal medicine and family physicians

Does the integral approach matter?

Disease orientation versus person-centred care The outcome of depression in family medicine

LESSONS OF THE EXAMPLE

  • Importance of clinical environment
  • Frequent health problems (early diagnosis, follow-up)
  • Practice primarily focussed on ‘norm’
  • Exceptions require additional interventions
  • Generic but context dependent
  • International position of family practice.

DOES PERSON CENTRED CARE MATTER?

Example: FPs’ treatment depression

EFFECTIVENESS of FAMILY PRACTICE

  • Knowledge what is effective
  • Cost-effectiveness health care (Starfield)
  • FP density ~
  • Life expectancy
  • Early diagnosis of malignancies (melanoma)
  • For subspecialist this relation inverse!
  • Poor understanding of why it is effective
  • Black box, counterintuitive

Role, function family physician

  • Medical generalist
  • All health problems
  • All stages
  • All Individuals
  • Need driven
  • Community oriented
  • Family or household focus
  • Social determinants
  • Personal doctor
  • Patient centred
  • Integrated care
  • Continuity of care

STRUCTURE ANOMALY

  • Horizontal programming more effective, efficient
  • Focus: responding to needs
  • Target: unselected patients & communities
  • Where the science is
  • Vertical programs more sexy
  • Focus: supply driven
  • Target: pre-selected groups & episodes
  • Where the money is
slide-33
SLIDE 33

Fifteen by 2015

Organize special programs through primary care: make a smal part of special program money (15%) available for primary care development

International Classification of Primary Care ICPC

  • Developed by Wonca
  • 1987, WICC
  • Maurice Wood
  • Primary care focus
  • Specificity of generalist
  • Relation with WHO
  • Relation ICD
  • International Standard
  • Europe, Australia
  • WICC (chair Michael Klinkman):
  • ICPC-3

Professor Chris van Weel

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Understanding effectiveness of primary care:

practice, ICPC, R&D

  • Need of comprehensive data
  • Dynamics primary care
  • Information beyond diagnosis
  • Reflecting context of primary care
  • Build on primary care experience
  • Primary care position in the

medical home

Conclusions

  • Now more than ever:
  • Primary care matters
  • It safes lives, and not only money
  • Better population health and better functioning health care system
  • Core concepts acknowledged
  • Personal, continous, social/family context, trust
  • Primary care can be, and must be, developed
  • Academic outreach of teaching, training
  • It is not ‘an art’
  • Better understanding of its effectiveness urgently needed
  • Research and development
  • No need to postpone action
