A subgroup of the Standing Committee on Primary Care will examine the inputs necessary to build and sustain interprofessional primary care teams delivering high-quality primary care in different settings. The subgroup will develop a report recommending how federal agencies and others can better support interprofessional primary care teams delivering high-quality primary care in the future.

Description

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Standing Committee on Primary Care will examine the inputs and functions needed for interprofessional teams to successfully and sustainably deliver high-quality primary care, as defined in the National Academies' report Implementing High-Quality Care: Rebuilding the Foundation of Health Care. Specifically, the Standing Committee will consider:

  • professional roles,
  • training needs,
  • start-up and ongoing costs,
  • local considerations, and
  • the structure and operations of the team.

Building on the conclusions of the 2021 report, the Standing Committee will recommend how federal agencies and other actors, such as health systems, commercial insurers, state health programs, and professional societies can better support the development of sustainable interprofessional teams to deliver high-quality primary care.
