Despite evidence that primary care improves health and reduces health inequities, primary care in the United States is in a vulnerable position, according to an April 2021 report from National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) Committee on Implementing High-Quality Primary Care. The Milbank Memorial Fund and The Physicians Foundation have partnered with the Robert Graham Center to develop an annual “Health of US Primary Care Scorecard” to measure the implementation of high-quality primary care and inform national and state policy. An Advisory Committee helps inform measure selection and review the findings.
