Introduction
- The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) contracted with Abt Associates and its partners, the MacColl Center for Health Care Innovation and Bailit Health Purchasing, to conduct research on innovative ways to configure primary care workforce teams that can deliver fully comprehensive, high-quality care to the U.S. population. The purpose of the research is to offer …
Why Foresight Family Physicians?
- Foresight Family Physicians (Foresight) is a small, independent practice between two large integrated systems in Grand Junction, Colorado, a town of just under 60,000 on the west slope of the Rocky Mountains. Foresight was chosen as an exemplar of a small practice involved in several State and national quality improvement (QI) initiatives such as the Comprehensive Primary Care …
Overview of The Practice
- Foresight is a long-established practice that serves the local population of Grand Junction and the surrounding rural area. The physicians, Drs. J. Dale Ott and Gregory C. Reicks are both doctors of osteopathy. The local economy is dominated by ranching and energy enterprises, which generate a disproportionate number of worksite injuries. For this reason, the practice is a licensed occupa…
Patient Population Description and Practice Panel Size
- Empaneled to the practice are 4800 patients. In 2014, the number of patient visits was 4138. Until recently, the practice's patient population was typical for the area. Since Medicaid expansion, however, Foresight has taken on a number of new Medicaid patients; they say they now probably have a higher percentage of Medicaid patients than the average practice in their location of Mes…
Model of Care
- Foresight strives to be an exemplary patient-centered medical home (PCMH) through participation in QI collaboratives and other quality initiatives. The practice uses extensive data collection and workflow mapping for QI, engages the PFAC to improve responsiveness to patient concerns, and employs a practice-generated risk-stratification algorithm (see Appendix) that aims to give patie…
Workforce Configuration
- Exhibit 1. Foresight Family Physicians team FTEs and roles DO=doctor of osteopathy; NP=nurse practitioner; PA=physician assistant; RN=registered nurse; MA=medical assistant; QI=quality improvement; N/A=not applicable The practice is divided into two core teams. Each consists of a physician, an NP or PA, two medical assistants (MAs), a care manager (also referred to as a hea…
Team Building and Training
- Building and sustaining teams is a clear priority at Foresight, although the transition to team care has created some tensions. A care manager attributed the effectiveness of their teams to: 1. Clear vision, communicated through monthly meetings and emails. 2. Team structures as good as Fortune 100 companies. 3. Good meetings with clear agendas, run by a facilitator and a recorde…
Access, Comprehensiveness, and Quality
- Access
The Foresight clinic is committed to expanding access to care. Currently, scheduling of nonurgent appointments is approximately 30 days out, but urgent patients are seen the same day. The clinic schedule contains same-day appointment blocks, and double booking is permitted for urgent ca… - Comprehensiveness
Because Grand Junction is relatively isolated, equally far from Denver and Salt Lake City, the medical community works together to care for its patients to avoid referral to the larger cities, interviewees said. They said that care compacts with specialists ease care coordination and co…
Implications For Primary Care Staffing Models
- Foresight shows that independent small practices might improve quality and maintain profitability by optimizing care for specific populations using care management and integrated behavioral health. NPs and PAs, even when not empaneled, contribute to efficient and sustainable care. Mental health providers may help a practice lower costs by addressing core issues for patients …
