Episode 199: Primary Care at Its Best: Putting Physicians Where They’re Needed Most

What does it take to ensure patients get the right care, from the right physician, at the right time? In our latest episode, Primary Care at Its Best: Putting Physicians Where They’re Needed Most, Faisel and Dan are joined by Tom Robertson, national advisor at Manatt Health, for a conversation about rethinking how primary care is delivered.

Together, they explore the current norms of primary care practice, the emerging concept of chronic care physicians and how more tailored physician-patient relationships can better meet the needs of different patient populations.
