By 2025, primary care will have experienced great changes in the United States. While there is uncertainty about how much of the health reform legislation will be put into effect, there will be disruptive advances, including telemedicine, virtual care, enhanced biomonitoring, digital health coaches (Dr. Watson from IBM serving as the health advisor), and altered primary care teams.
The Institute for Alternative Futures produced Primary Care 2025 scenarios, with support from the Kresge Foundation. This session will present the scenarios as well as the recommendations identified by national leaders using the scenarios.
Highlights
Participants will leave the session with an understanding of:
- Disruptive innovations that will reshape primary care.
- The key uncertainties and major futures for primary care.
- What leaders in the health profession recommend in health professional education, individual and community capacity and accountability for health, technologies of health, and population health.
- How to use the scenarios as a living tool for strategy formulation.
