Abstract

A seminal National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine consensus report released in May 2021-Implementing High-Quality Primary Care: Rebuilding the Foundation of Health Care-emphasizes the importance of ensuring that high-quality primary care is accessible to all people, regardless of whether they have paid for it and in spite of its limited availability. This report outlines five recommendations for primary care stakeholders seeking to transform the health care landscape. This article summarizes these recommendations; identifies progress made toward high-quality primary care implementation since the report's publication; and outlines examples of policies, operational approaches, and advocacy strategies we believe are necessary to implement high-quality primary care.
