, Lesley H. Curtis, PhD a, b, c, L. Ebony Boulware, MD a, c, d, 1Résumé |
Primary care clinicians care for an extremely diverse range of patients, and they therefore have numerous opportunities to measure and act to improve the health of various populations. In order to take effective actions to improve the health of their patient populations, primary care clinicians must measure health.

Optimal population health metrics are actionable and facilitate the implementation of effective strategies to improve population health through administrative or clinical programs.
