The primary care physician shortage is a challenge that continues to grow, with more than a third of active physicians expected to retire in the next decade. At CareAllies, we believe integrating Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) into primary care practices is essential to address this ongoing reality.

In a recent MedCity News article, our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Joe Nicholson, shares how integrating APPs, such as physician assistants and APRNs, can expand access to care, improve practice efficiencies, and enhance patient health outcomes.

Read the full article to learn how APPs can help practices navigate the physician shortage while continuing to deliver high-quality care.

Since practices tend to build more flexibility into APPs’ schedules, they can efficiently expand patients’ access to care while allowing physicians to focus on more complex patients.

While Labor Day draws near, the summer heat is not over and is likely to linger for weeks to come, especially for those in the southern part of the country. ☀️ This presents an excellent opportunity to engage patients in a discussion about heat safety, especially as heatstroke remains a major risk for older adults.

Remind patients that the risk of heat stroke extends beyond August and support patient safety by emphasizing hydration, staying indoors when necessary, and knowing heatstroke signs that require medical attention.

High temperatures can be a health hazard. Here’s why

Recently, CareAllies supported Constitution Physician Alliance (CPA), an independent physician association in the Philadelphia area, with planning and hosting their annual physician retreat.

It was a day of learning and connecting, featuring a variety of discussions such as regulatory updates from America's Physician Groups on strategies to improve the patient visit lifecycle and new Part D quality measures. The presentations concluded with a special recognition of top-performing physicians.

We’re proud to support CPA in their mission to empower independent physicians and strengthen their impact in the community.

60% of U.S. adults live with at least one chronic condition, making effective management more critical—and challenging—than ever. As health care professionals, we must identify care gaps, improve communication, and coordinate care to tackle these complexities and ensure better health outcomes.

Explore our latest article in Physician’s Weekly, as Senior Medical Director Dr. Priya Suresh and Clinical Program Senior Manager Susie Mayeux-Tapley, LVN, share actionable strategies to transform chronic condition management.

Caring for patients with multiple chronic conditions requires identifying those at risk, clear communication, and coordinated care to improve outcomes.

A five-minute conversation about vaccines may prevent a hospital stay. August is National Immunization Awareness Month, which is an ideal time for physicians to check in with patients about recommended vaccines and to confirm patients are up to date on those shots. 💉✅

This is especially important for adults 65+ and those with chronic conditions. Although vaccines don’t always prevent illness, they can reduce its severity and serious illness.

These conversations are a key element in high-quality, proactive care. By having them now, physicians can help patients prepare for the months ahead as we all spend more time indoors and as seasonal illnesses like the flu start to spread.

During August, AAI is highlighting the importance of vaccination for people of all ages.

Physicians and clinicians with experience in inpatient and surgical environments are familiar with the “morning huddle,” a quick, 10 or 15-minute meeting that typically focuses on patient safety. Today, more practices are finding that the morning huddle is equally helpful in primary care settings.

A morning huddle is a great way to merge personal and clinical information with data and analytics – ideally by giving everyone in the practice an opportunity to review which patients are scheduled for the day, what their appointment will focus on, and where gaps in care may lie.

To learn more about how to incorporate a morning huddle into your practice, see the article “Combining Clinical Insight and Data-Driven Expertise: The Case for Morning Huddles in Primary Care,” by Becky Trotter, vice president of population health at CareAllies and Aliya Ali, MD, MBA, regional medical director at CareAllies.

Morning huddles may well be the missing piece of the puzzle for busy PCPs trying to close care gaps. By leveraging the huddle processes...

Did you know that social isolation and the loneliness it often brings are associated with increased anxiety, depression, and a greater risk of chronic conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity? This is particularly problematic for older patients, where 1 in 3 people between 50 and 80 experience loneliness.

Physicians, you can take meaningful steps to support your patients this summer and help them stay connected:

• Start a conversation about the benefits of connection.
• Reassure patients that they’re not alone.
• Share local resources, like community groups or senior centers.
• Encourage outdoor activities or group fitness programs - summer is perfect for this!
• Suggest resources like the Institute on Aging's Friendship Line (888-670-1360) for additional support.

Social connectedness can enhance physical and emotional health, and even prolong life. Encourage your patients to engage and seek the support they need to thrive!

This JAMA Patient Page discusses social isolation and loneliness as important public health concerns, especially among older adults.
