Family Medicine for America’s Health—4 Years Later, Heading Into the Future

摘要

Health equity is so vital that the initial intention was to weave it throughout the work of all the tactic teams. However, it became evident that a dedicated tactic team could be more effective. The theme of Starfield Summit II was “Primary Care’s Role in Achieving Health Equity.” A resultant paper from Starfield II was accepted for publication in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine later in 2018.13 Family medicine organizations will intentionally highlight aspects of health equity throughout 2018-2019 and beyond. In 2017, AAFP started a Center for Diversity and Health Equity to address social determinants of health with the “EveryONE Project”7 to equip family physicians to address health disparities.
