care integration with other clinical 

services and public health; primary 

health care integration with communitybased organizations to provide social 

services to patients; interprofessional 

education strategies; expanded and 

effective use of health information 

technology (IT); strategies to expand 

primary health care research and its 

impact; and measures of primary health 

care spending, access, quality, and 

impact. 

2. Barriers to implementing successful 

models or innovations: Describe current 

barriers to implementing innovations or 

improvements that would strengthen 

primary health care, to improve the 

health of individuals, families and 

communities. Also, consider barriers to 

advancing primary health care research, 

as well as barriers to inclusive services 

and those targeting youth. For each 

barrier, you may provide evidencebased or proposed solutions. 

3. Successful strategies to engage 

communities: Describe models, 

approaches or frameworks that HHS 

could use to obtain ongoing input from 

individuals, caregivers, and 

communities on HHS actions to 

strengthen primary health care and their 

implementation (i.e., community 

engagement strategies), acknowledging 

the different approaches necessary to 

obtain perspectives from youth and 

adults. Populations of focus are those 

traditionally underserved by health 

care, such as Black, Latino, and 

Indigenous and Native American 

persons, Asian Americans and Pacific 

Islanders and other persons of color; 

members of religious minorities; 

lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and 

queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with 

disabilities; persons who live in rural 

areas; and persons otherwise adversely 

affected by persistent poverty or 

inequality. Additional populations of 

interest are people experiencing 

homelessness; non-US-born persons; 

individuals experiencing gender-based 

violence; individuals with chronic 

illness; older adults and people with 

disabilities; individuals with mental 

and substance use disorders; and people 

who have had interactions with the 

criminal justice system. Share 

implementation approaches for 

community engagement strategies and 

lessons learned. 

4. Proposed HHS actions: Identify 

specific actions that HHS may take to 

advance the health of individuals, 

families, and communities through 

strengthened primary health care. 

Examples include, but are not limited 

to: steps to implement and scale new 

payment models and reimbursement 

approaches, including revising the 

Physician Fee Schedule, Relative Value 

Units, and Current Procedural 

Terminology codes and advancing 

value-based care; increasing payer and 

national investment in primary health 

care and measuring/monitoring 

spending on primary care; support for 

service integration, including 

integration of primary health care and 

public health; and enabling care for 

complex needs by integrating 

behavioral, oral, and primary health 

care and integrating access to social 

services and primary health care 

through partnerships; support for 

primary health care workforce wellbeing; policy and programmatic 

proposals for health workforce programs 

to address workforce shortages, 

geographic maldistribution and to 

improve workforce diversity; support 

for primary health care workforce 

education and training; 

interprofessional education; new 

technical assistance needed; advancing 

the use of certified health IT and 

interoperability of electronic health 

information across the care continuum; 

primary health care research 

infrastructure and investment; and 

measurement and stewardship of 

primary health care. Specify what 

barrier the opportunity addresses, and 

the realistic timing for implementation: 

less than two years, two to five years, 

and six to 10 years.
