Primary care is the cornerstone for enhancing quality of care. By focusing on prevention and wellness, primary care providers can help patients reduce unnecessary treatment and avoid preventable hospitalizations, duplicative testing and visits to the ED. Primary care also improves continuity of care received across the spectrum.
All Brigham and Women's Health Care (BWHC) employees and their covered family members now have the option to receive primary care through BWHC or a Partners-affiliated practice.
BWHC primary care is team-based and comprehensive, offering improved access, preventive care, health promotion and education, as well as patient and family engagement and care of chronic illness. It delivers improved outcomes and higher patient satisfaction. BWHC is also dedicated to providing outstanding primary care for infants, children and adolescents through the Partners Network Primary Care Pediatricians.
"Our goal is to provide employees and their families with the highest quality, personalized health care," said BWHC President Betsy Nabel, MD.
Additionally, if employees need to see a specialist, BWHC's skilled primary care physicians can make a referral to a provider within the system or to affiliated practices, thus maintaining quality and efficiencies in care.
