Innovations in Primary Care: What’s in the ACA?

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act aims to move the health care system away from an episodic, fee-for-service approach and towards a coordinated, preventive model of care delivery.

This December 13 briefing, cosponsored the Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund, explored this and related questions.
