His belief is that the physician and the entire health care team should be dedicated to the patient 365 days a year. A health care team needs to not only provide an excellent experience during office visits, but should be monitoring and improving patient's health in-between visits in order to ensure optimal health. In this way, a physician and a health care team can maintain the highest levels of quality, safety, access, and patient satisfaction.
