The CAPCI aims to improve both the appeal of primary care and the performance of primary care teams. It hopes to reach these goals by improving the pipeline of primary care providers, redesigning physician practices for efficiency, experimenting with purchaser strategies and influencing healthcare policy.
The entire nation is facing an ever-growing physician shortage, and the state of California is not immune. The state is looking at losing 30 percent of its current primary care workforce in the next five to eight years.
The CAPCI’s first plenary steering council meeting is set for January.
