"The story of how Stettler went from famine to plenty is an outlier. But it shines a spotlight on a fundamental weakness of a health care system that had once been Canada’s source of pride — an acute shortage of family physicians, and the extraordinary efforts communities must undertake to attract them."

Early US prenatal care is on the decline, reports finds

Early prenatal care improves the chances of having a healthy pregnancy and baby. But a new federal report shows it’s been on the decline. The share of U.S. births to women who began prenatal care in the first trimester dropped from 78.3% in 2021 to 75.5% in 2024. Meanwhile, the share of births to women starting care in the second trimester rose from 15.4% to 17.3%. Starting care in the third trimester or getting no care went from 6.3% to 7.3%. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the data on Thursday.

Reading these prompted me to pack out Porter/Teisberg's "Redefining #HealthCare" again.

It remains an interesting read, but it is very influenced by the time of writing and geography.

Any suggestions for sources with similar depth & breadth, but that

- have a stronger focus on primary #MentalHealth care?

"Now, CMS’ Innovation Center, which created Making Care Primary, is set to launch a new 10-year program to boost primary care called the Long-term Enhanced ACO Design, known by its acronym LEAD. In that program, funding will be sent to health care organizations, often managed by companies, instead of directly to primary care doctors and clinics."

A planned 10-year federal program called Making Care Primary was supposed to help primary care doctors by easing administrative burdens, allowing them to focus on improving patients’ health.
