Key Takeaways

• Regular PCP visits correlate with better health outcomes and reduced hospital visits, potentially saving the U.S. $67 billion annually.
• Only 5% of U.S. healthcare spending is allocated to primary care, the lowest among western democracies.
• Primary care physicians are among the lowest paid, contributing to a shortage as many retire or leave due to burnout.

Key objectives for the improvement of primary care at the state level were discussed in an expert-led AHCJ webinar, titled “No one can see you now.”
