The Patient’s Primary Care Experience: A Road Map to Powerful Partnerships
Consumer expectations, accreditation requirements and the rise of alternative payment models are driving the future of primary care delivery. Putting patients at the center of the healthcare practice is no longer an aspirational goal—it is rapidly becoming a requirement.
The Patient’s Primary Care Experience: A Road Map to Powerful Partnerships is a handbook for providing patient-centered care. The book focuses on the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, which emphasizes building relationships and enhancing communication.

Topics covered include partnering with patients in creating and achieving care goals; improving access through telemedicine, telehealth and shared medical appointments; preventing and mitigating staff burnout while promoting resilience; integrating patient and family perspectives into systems and processes; and enhancing both the patient and staff experience with healing design.
The tools, templates and advice in this practical guide have been tested and refined through the authors’ experience in primary care environments, and they can help your organization increase patient satisfaction and improve outcomes.
