The lines between where care is delivered have already been blurred, and hospital-at-home has gained a ton of momentum. However, we are going to see more primary and preventative care shift to the home, and Direct Primary Care models are the only sustainable way to make this happen. #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

Recently, with the signing of H.R. 1., the use of Direct Primary Care will continue on its rapid growth within the employer community as the only way to create high-quality, affordable access to family medicine for their employee population. Through the use of HSA funds, DPC tax deductibility, and the ability to be paired with HDHPs, the future of family medicine is Direct Primary Care. #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

The future of family medicine, however, shows some hope with the adoption of Direct Primary Care (DPC) growing more rapidly on a national level. DPC adoption by individuals and employers is in response to the expensive complexities of the traditional insurance-based system, where unlimited comprehensive family care is covered at a flat monthly fee. #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

The use of Advanced Practice Providers – Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants has skyrocketed over the last five years. The increase in the use of these providers has helped to improve patient access, but has not addressed the challenges of burnout. #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

For family medicine, digital health has rapidly grown the amount of data available to the clinician. Remote monitoring through wearable tech and at-home devices helps with managing chronic health conditions. This continuous stream of data allows for more precise treatment of these complex conditions. However, all this extra data is becoming overwhelming to the clinician, who is already experiencing an administrative burden, further taking away time from the patient. #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

The physician shortage is not new to family medicine, but over the last five years, the shortage has worsened. Physicians in every area of medicine, but especially family medicine, are experiencing burnout, extreme administrative burden, and an aging workforce. Rural and underserved communities are experiencing the most significant impact, while urban regions are also feeling the pain, with wait times exceeding 23.5 days. #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

Do you remember when seeing your doctor always meant a trip to the clinic? Having to pack up the car, wait on the bus, go out in the cold, or find parking? The pandemic shattered that norm. In 2020, telehealth visits skyrocketed, and today, they are a standard option for many consultations. Although telehealth is often not utilized to its full potential in many cases. Yes, this shift has improved convenience, but has it been equitable for all? #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

The past five years have been a whirlwind for family medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic acted as an unprecedented catalyst, forcing a rapid evolution in how primary care is delivered. Over the next few weeks, we are going to delve into the key changes we've witnessed, from the virtual visit boom to the growing physician shortage. #TectonicHealth #DPC #FamilyMedicine #EmployeeBenefits #Benefits

The average length of time it takes to see a family physician in the United States is 23.5 days! What is shocking is that this survey was conducted in America’s 15 largest metropolitan areas. Can you imagine what that wait is like in rural and semi-rural areas? Now, after you have waited over three weeks, and we assume you are probably feeling better, you have a much longer travel time ahead. Let’s face it, the logistics of receiving care are chaotic for the patient if they want to always get the “right care at the right time at the right place”. This is why many employees and their families end up in the emergency department or urgent care for minor issues; they often wait for hours, spend hundreds of dollars, and have a poor experience. At Tectonic Health, we turn that 23.5 days into just a few minutes for your question to be answered, and just a couple of hours to be seen in person.
