A new tool to integrate primary care and public health called “A Practical Playbook: Public Health & Primary Care Together” is now available online.

The Playbook, developed by the CDC, Duke Community and Family Medicine, and the de Beaumont Foundation, is an interactive, Web-based tool that helps primary care clinicians and public health groups find productive ways to work together to better manage chronic diseases. The project's goal is to increase the quality of care while keeping health care costs in check.

ACP's state of Washington Governor, Carrie A. Horwitch, MD, MPH, FACP, is on the National Advisory Committee.
