As an update to its 2022 report on state trends in primary care policy, PCDC revisited and assessed progress in four areas of primary care policy that hold promise for long-term change: Investing in primary care; strengthening the primary care workforce; expanding access through telehealth; and creating comprehensive primary care through integrating broader health care services. We found slow but continuous progress in each of these areas, as well as some new and innovative policy models.

PCDC encourages state lawmakers and advocates to review this 2023 update, as well as the 2022 Report, for ideas about how to address some of the most pressing primary care challenges facing the country today.
