Healthcare Dive's article on the cost effectiveness of providing primary care in the home cites Dr. Terry Fulmer's Huffington Post blog on how home-based primary care is making health systems more age-friendly.

Luke Gale's brief, "Providing Primary Care in the Home Saves Money, CMS Says", January 20, 2017 discusses findings from The Independence at Home Demonstration on delivering primary care services to patients in their homes. Healthcare Dive states that "Over the past several decades, the healthcare system has been determining strategies for coping with the country's aging population. While home-based primary care services play a part in these strategies, barriers remain and only 12% of homebound individuals reported having these services available, Terry Fulmer, president of the John A Hartford Foundation wrote for Huffington Post."
