Episode 546: Who provides chronic disease management?

In episode 546, James and Mike invite Jessica Kirkwood and Scott Garrison to talk about a new study they published looking at what proportion of common chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and COPD are handled by family physicians, specialists, and nurse practitioners manage. We find that family physicians provide the majority of care for these conditions. Tune in to find out the actual numbers and possibly how these findings should be used.
