Primary care

What is primary care?
Most people think of primary care as routine, from a doctor of internal medicine or family medicine to daily medical care, or from another provider, such as a nurse practitioner or a physician's assistant. This is the first stage of most health problems, ranging from ankle sprains to the common cold.
Primary care includes precautionary care, which aims to help prevent people from getting sick or ill. This includes back-to-school vaccines, blood work for cholesterol and insulin testing, and counseling on family and lifestyle risk factors.

How does primary care help people stay healthy?
First of all, Primary care is important for the prevention and early detection of many diseases. If people get tested and STD screening regularly, they are more likely to avoid health problems or they need to be caught early, get skin treatment, and overall care less.
The second , A more subtle reason is that when people visit a primary care provider regularly, they are more likely to have a relationship with that person. Right or wrong, most people are more willing to listen to someone they know and trust. They are also more likely to be open and honest about their lifestyle habits and medical concerns. He is powerful. However, a provider cannot advise a patient about their options for quitting smoking, or refer someone for anxiety counseling, if they never know these concerns exist.
Does primary care also help reduce healthcare costs?
Yes. Studies show that healthcare systems that prioritize primary care provide better value to patients. Not only do they have better results but they also have lower costs. This is because when people are healthy, their treatment costs less. If a protective mammogram detects breast cancer early, or regular blood transfusions help someone get pre-diabetic, everyone wins.
