【 摘 要 】

Primary care has a positive impact on health equity, cost reduction, and improved quality of care (1–3). Primary care is characterized by the Cs of continuity, coordination of care, comprehensiveness and first contact care. Because of these characteristics, primary providers play a key role in the provision of care. For example, both patients and providers highly value continuity of care, a defining characteristic of primary care and a feature related to lower costs and better outcomes (2, 4–6). Consequently, strengthening primary care is a key policy strategy to improve the outcomes of health care delivery.
