With its cost-effectiveness and ability to secure better patient outcomes, the U.S. medical field has been increasingly adopting the personalized primary care model as a proactive approach to managing patients’ healthcare needs. Numerous studies conducted over the past decade have highlighted the significant benefits this patient-centric approach provides individuals, and medical practitioners are increasingly offering the service to their patients.

Health + Glow is pleased to offer its patients personalized primary care services in the Tampa, Florida, area through its new Elite Care program. Health + Glow lead physician Dr. Swapna M. Kallikadan noted that our Elite Care program is designed to “deliver the best in comprehensive, personalized primary care to Tampa-area patients.” With three membership levels and add-on services, Health + Glow’s Elite Care program ensures patients receive medical services tailored to their unique healthcare needs.

What is Personalized Primary Care?

Personalized primary care is a healthcare model focused on tailoring medical services to proactively address each patient’s unique health profile, specific medical needs, lifestyle, and health goals. According to a 2016 study—Personalized Health Planning in Primary Care Settings—personalized primary care is “an approach to the practice of medicine where prediction, prevention, intense patient engagement, shared health care decision making, and coordination of care are essential to cost-effectively facilitate better outcomes.”

The “heart of” personalized primary care, notes the study, is personalized health planning in which the patient and physician “develop shared health-related goals and a plan to achieve them.” In addition to being personalized, the healthcare approach “must be proactive, and therefore, preventative and include strategies to strengthen the [patient’s] innate capacity for enhancing health.”

According to the global business consultancy Bain & Company, this new primary care model will capture 30% of the U.S. healthcare market by 2030. The consultancy notes that this innovative primary care model will “deliver more efficient care, improve patient outcomes, and lower costs.”

The Benefits of Personalized Primary Care in Tampa

The delivery of more efficient care, enhanced patient health outcomes, and lower costs are certainly appealing, so how does personalized primary care achieve this?

With its proactive patient-centric focus, personalized primary care inherently strengthens the patient-physician relationship. To gain a deep understanding of each patient’s health profile, medical history, and healthcare needs, doctors generally must spend more time getting to know their patients. This helps enhance communications between the patient and their doctor and fosters greater patient trust in the doctor’s health care recommendations. It also makes patients more likely to adhere to their doctor’s medical advice and encourages them to take a more active role in their own care.

The proactive patient-centric approach enhances the doctor’s preventative care efforts by helping them identify potential health risks based on their health history, lifestyle factors, and genetic predispositions. This allows primary care physicians to put more emphasis on preventing illness and disease rather than responding to them after they emerge. The personalized approach is especially effective at helping doctors manage chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Personalized primary care naturally emphasizes treating patients holistically because the doctor focuses on the patient first rather than a specific medical condition. When you combine this with the focus on preventative care and the enhanced patient-physician relationship, your personalized primary care provider can help reduce the likelihood of severe health impacts and hospitalizations, which in turn helps decrease long-term healthcare costs.
