A CALL TO ACTION
History
Theresponsibilityofhealthcaretopartnerwithcommunitiesandinvestinastrongcivicinfrastructuretoimprovehealthandhealthequityhaslongbeenunderstood.Thefounderofsocialmedicine,RudolfVirchow,declaredin1849,“Forifmedicineisreallytoaccomplishitsgreattask,itmustinterveneinpoliticalandsociallife.”Familymedicinewas,infact,foundedontheunderstandingthathealthandillnessoccurlargelyoutsideoftheexamroomanditspractitionersarecalledto“acceptresponsibilityforthepatient’stotalhealthcarewithinthecontextofenvironment,includingthecommunityandthefamilyorcomparablesocialunit.”2
PresentReality
Unfortunately,duetoawidearrayoffactors,modernhealthcarehasremainedlargelyfocusedoncuringillnessforindividualpatients,ratherthanpreventingdiseasewithcommunities.Andyetthereisgrowingconsensusthatthatapproachisnotworking.TheUnitedStateshasfailedtoachievetheQuadrupleAimofimprovingpopulationhealth,enhancingpatientexperiences,reducinghealthcarecosts,andimprovingprovidersatisfaction.3Inaddition,poorhealthoutcomesinequitablyburdencommunitiesofcolor,andotherminorityandvulnerablepopulations.
