Abstract: Abstract Two of the most pressing issues for health care systems around the globe are the increase of chronically ill patients and the shrinking physician workforce, especially in primary care. Policy makers are looking into new models of primary care delivery to increase quality as well as productivity. Group Medical Visits is a model of primary care delivery, which is increasingly gaining attention in North America, Europe and Asia. This case study illustrates the development, structure and outcome of Chronic Health Care Clinics, a Group Visit Model specifically designed for the treatment of the chronically ill in primary care.
