Community Oriented Primary Care: New Directions for Health Services Delivery

摘要

The committee stated four goals for the conference: (1)to refine the concepts and techniques of community oriented primary care and to trace its development in the United States in comparison with that of other nations, (2)to examine the theories and practices that have been applied in COPC, (3)to consider the means of incorporating the theory and practice of COPC into the education and training of health care providers, and (4)to publish and disseminate the results of this conference in order to facilitate further developments in COPC. In summary, the conference was intended as a forum in which the practice of community medicine in the United States could be reassessed, codified, and, as appropriate, redirected. This volume represents the record of that undertaking.
