Primary care for persons with disabilities. An overview of the problem

G DeJong. Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 1997 May-Jun.

Abstract

This article outlines the ongoing health care needs of people with disabilities and how organized health care, particularly primary care, often fails to address these needs in a timely fashion. The article's central argument is that managed care and the ferment present in health care today present enormous opportunities for rehabilitation providers and others to develop creative solutions to address the shortcomings of the present health care system.
