The authors assert in [“The Failing Experiment Of Primary Care As a For-Profit Enterprise,”](https://www.healthaffairs.org/content/forefront/failing-experiment-primary-care-profit-enterprise) that the for-profit companies that have flooded into the primary care arena cannot be relied on to improve primary care delivery nationwide.   Tags: [Weekly Industry News](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/weekly-industry-news) ### Subscribe via E-mail [![Download Our Whitepaper](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/88260/d583cd19-3494-4f21-b925-c9730cf99ded.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/88260/d583cd19-3494-4f21-b925-c9730cf99ded) ### Posts by category - [Annual Wellness Visit (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/annual-wellness-visit) - [Archived Blog Posts (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/archived-blog-posts) - [Behavioral Health Integration / BHI (4)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/behavioral-health-integration-bhi) - [Care Coordination (4)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/care-coordination) - [Care Management (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/care-management) - [Chronic Care Management / CCM (13)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/chronic-care-management-ccm) - [CMS / Medicare (9)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/cms-medicare) - [Coding and Compliance (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/coding-and-compliance) - [COVID-19 (2)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/covid-19) - [Diabetes Prevention / MDPP (2)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/diabetes-prevention-mdpp) - [Disease Management (4)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/disease-management) - [EMR / EHR (4)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/emr-ehr) - [Health IT (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/health-it) - [Healthcare Policy and Reform (8)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/healthcare-policy-and-reform) - [MARCQI (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/marcqi) - [Meaningful Use (2)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/meaningful-use) - [News (13)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/news) - [Patient Reported Outcomes (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/patient-reported-outcomes) - [Population Health Management (4)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/population-health-management) - [Primary Care (2)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/primary-care) - [Principal Care Management / PCM (2)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/principal-care-management-pcm) - [Psychiatric Care Model / CoCM (3)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/psychiatric-care-model-cocm) - [Remote Therapeutic Monitoring/RTM (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/remote-therapeutic-monitoring-rtm) - [Transitions of Care (4)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/transitions-of-care) - [VA News (1)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/va-news) - [Value Based Care (6)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/value-based-care) - [Weekly Industry News (418)](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/blog/topic/weekly-industry-news)   [![logo](https://www.avicenna-medical.com/hubfs/2016/images/logo_footer.svg "logo")](https://www.avicenna-medical.com) [info@avicenna-medical.com](mailto:info@avicenna-medical.com) **888.284.4080** ©2016.
