Overview:

The COVID-19 Pandemic requires multi-disciplinary collaboration. Despite little medical coverage, Primary Care has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 response and recovery. The Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Primary Care uses historic and contemporary data to describe the policy implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients, providers, practices, and communities. Dr. Jack Westfall will provide a comprehensive review of Primary Care’s potential for addressing the COVID-19 response and recovery, from a telehealth capacity to preparing for a COVID-19 vaccine, to measuring Primary Care and Public Health collaborations.

Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to describe 3 components of primary care that support COVID-19 response and recovery.

2. Participants will be able to explain the individual and community factors that may increase COVID-19 related deaths of despair.

3. Participants will be able to describe the 3 components necessary for a “community of solution” measurement index.
