"Bringing back the human element to medicine." Four Aims of On Point Primary Care

1. Patients should expect higher health care performance.

Achieve superior health outcomes

At On Point Primary Care we desire for you to get more value for your health care experience. By design On Point Primary Care is healthcare that is more patient interactive, less invasive and less expensive than it is today. The ultimate goal is health, well-being and living. It’s about the treatment of a person not simply a treatment of a disease.

2. Reduce patient health care costs

On Point Primary Care wishes to separate primary care from the traditional health care plans. Primary care consists about 90% of the majority of health care needs; from the acute needs to the management of chronic issues. Focus here is on a more economical manner will allow “insurance” to be used as it was intended for the rare and expensive events. By humanizing the physician-patient experience we can help prevent the need of costly insurance and prevent costly events by focusing on health not just disease. We can be preventive.

3. Change health care incentives

On Point Primary Care would like to replace the traditional fee-for-service (FFS) incentives of volume with value. On Point Primary Care truly is a patient centered home. The patient-physician relationship is the foundation of this model. No longer does the physician get paid based on the number he/she sees. The rewards are based on the quality of medical service that he/she provides. Replacing FFS with a simple monthly subscription that cover comprehensive primary care services helps achieve this. Primary healthcare then is carved out of the “insurance” concept with the removal of the overhead of that system then primary care becomes affordable again. Attention is given to appropriate size patient panels to support this level of care and commitment.

4. Improve Patient Experiences

On Point Primary Care was created for patients, designed to incentivize quality rather than quantity for less cost. In addition to medical services found in the primary care setting, patients typically receive greater attention through longer visits, 24/7 access to the physician, less wait times, same day or next day appointments, secured telemedicine communications, and emphasis on prevention of ill health. With On Point Primary Care, patients gain a true advocate for their health. Find out more by visiting our website: www.onpointprimarycare.com

HTN/Hypertension/High blood pressure —-a silent killer. Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer in the USA. Therapeutic lifestyles changes; diet and exercise, has a HUGE impact on risk. This is our cornerstone in our clinic. Food is medicine and medicine can be our food.

WHAT IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

Happy NEW year!

Adhering to just four simple healthy lifestyle factors—not smoking, maintaining a healthy body weight, exercising, and following a healthy diet (eating a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and less meat)—could potentially have a strong impact on the prevention of chronic diseases. We’re talking nearly 80 percent less chronic disease risk and slashing diabetes risk by 93 percent, dropping heart attack risk by 81 percent, cutting stroke risk in half, and reducing cancer risk by 36 percent.

Researchers estimated that following a healthy lifestyle could add more years to your life, even from 50 years of age. How many more years? If you’re 50 right now and take just basic care of yourself, instead of living only to 79 if you’re a woman and 75½ if you’re a man, you could enjoy an average life expectancy of 93 if you’re a woman and 87½ if you’re a man. That's an extra 14 years for women and 12.2 years for men!

In the United States alone every year, there are a half million heart attacks, a half million strokes, a million new cases of diabetes, and a million new cancer diagnoses. The potential for preventing disease and death from chronic diseases is enormous.

Veggies, nuts and seeds!

There are a number of beneficial reasons as to why we should be loading our plates up with vegetables. One of them simply being that vegetables contain both fiber and phytonutrients (the nutrients that are known to give plants their pigment and act like an antioxidant in the body).

In addition to aiming to fill half our plates with vegetables, we should also strive to include a variety of vegetables throughout the week. Dietary diversity is important because each plant family has a unique combination of phytonutrients that may bind to specific proteins within our body. The video "Specific Receptors for Specific Fruits & Vegetables" dives more into that: http://bit.ly/2Lkxd5e

Dark-green, leafy vegetables are the healthiest foods on the planet, which is why they have their own category on Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen. As whole foods go, they offer the most nutrition per calorie. Of all the food groups analyzed by a team of Harvard University researchers, greens turned out to be associated with the strongest protection against major chronic diseases, including up to about a 20 percent reduction in risk for both heart attacks and strokes for every additional daily serving (https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/vegetables/).

A more plant-based diet, in general, may help prevent, treat, or reverse some of our leading causes of death, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure, and may improve not only body weight, blood sugar levels, and ability to control cholesterol, but also our emotional states, including depression, anxiety, fatigue, sense of well-being, and daily functioning (https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/plant-based-diets ).

So next time you prepare a meal, think about all the ways you could include more veggies in it. Add zucchini, greens, tomatoes, and broccoli to a pasta dish. Load up a bean burrito or burrito bowl with greens, tomatoes, purple cabbage, corn, peppers, and onions. Adding more veggies to your meals not only adds a nutritional punch, but it makes your dishes more colorful too.
