Health Care for All: the AAFP Plan

This was the title of my morning's workshop. AAFP has developed a plan that focuses on the medical home. The medical home model is based on health care being centered at a primary care office whether the actual health care takes place in the primary care office. I.e. the patient always has a person to talk to abouthealth care and keep track of their records.

It does seem to be lacking in details in terms of reimbursement but it is a good idealistic model to begin with. The President of AAFP presented and was very enthusiastic about it!
