Particular clinical interests within primary care include medically complex patients, geriatrics, and respiratory and heart conditions.

For decades, health care has been organized primarily around episodic interactions with individual patients. With population health management, however, care is organized around patients’ health needs regardless of whether they are seeking health care. The goal is better health for these patients as well as lower costs.
