Submitted By Charlene Ice, Created 11/08/2013 - 12:14
- An Electronic Medical Record does not imply inter-operability, analytics, performance and risk management.
- Primary care physicians remain overworked, underpaid and in short supply.
- Managing the hospital-primary care-specialist conflict.
- Care coordination and continuity remains daunting and time consuming for medically complex, co-morbid (MCC) patients.
- Care variation is common within regional and local markets.
- Excessive end-of-life care intervention.
- Limited if any patient engagement in self-care.
- Patient utilization of out-of-network specialists is allowed.
- Regulatory and legal compliance requirements.
