| Summary: | Rapid demographic change, particularly
aging populations and a growing burden of chronic disease
and multi-morbidity, are straining even the most
sophisticated primary health systems. Many frontline health
systems are ill-equipped to respond to these challenges,
constrained by low health worker availability and fragmented
service provision. Innovative models for staffing and
organizing frontline health services are needed that foster
interdisciplinary collaboration, coordination of care, and
person-centered approaches to help people remain healthy and
active in their communities as they age. |
