Abstract
Reviews the book, Patient-Centered Primary Care: Getting From Good to Great by Alexander Blount (2019). Blount convincingly explains why patient-centered care matters. Blount makes the case for integrated primary care within the milieu of the patient-centered medical home as both the logical future of health care delivery and an ethical imperative. He describes integrated care as a key factor in promoting reciprocity between optimal patient outcomes and reduced physician burnout, articulating a model of integrated care composed of four transformative principles: transparency, empowerment, activation, and mutuality, or the "T.E.A.M. Way." Blount was successful in producing a thorough and frank handbook for patient-centered primary care. Well researched and expertly organized, this book is an informative and accessible book ideal for professionals and practices in the beginning phases of transition, as well as a potent resource for anyone who aims to understand and/or articulate a rationale for patient-centered, integrated primary care-one that we as clinicians and faculty will likely return to repeatedly.
