decisions faced by patients: primary care  

Definición

  • Primary care is defined as the level of the healthcare system that provides individuals with (a) the gateway into the system for all their needs and problems; (b) care focused on the individual and his or her context (not disease-oriented); (c) care for all but very uncommon or unusual conditions; (d) continuity of care; and (e) the coordination or integration of the care provided by other levels of the system or by other professionals. Thus, primary care is defined by a series of functions which, in combination, are unique at this level. [Source: Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making; Decisions Faced by Patients: Primary Care]
