Primary Care Driven Solutions are one of the best kept secrets in the US health care system. Why primary care? Because primary care is anchored in an accessible, effective, efficacious, and equitable model of health care. When primary care leaders tackle a problem they see the big picture and focus on the needs of patients and their families. Their solutions have been ignored in the past. For the good of our communities, it’s time to increase awareness of primary care driven approaches to health system improvement.

The FMEC Innovator’s Network provides a medium for innovators to showcase their work and receive useful feedback. It also provides a learning place for employers, union leaders, hospital administrators, investors and others looking for strategies to improve care delivery while controlling/reducing the cost of health services.

Our Secret Sauce:

Step #1 Find the innovators who have implemented “primary care driven solutions”. Focus on those with demonstrated results that are scalable. 

Step #2 Provide a venue so the successful innovators can communicate with the early adopters and health system leaders looking for methods that will improve patient’s health while reducing the cost of care.

Step #3 Provide support to the innovators so their solutions can grow. Even the best solutions take, at least, two to three years to become so well known that the early majority will take notice.
