Precision medicine to precision care: managing multimorbidity.
Multimorbidity is the most common condition managed in practice. The authors argue that health-care delivery must be transformed to provide precision care to people with multimorbidity. Accomplishing this transition will require a change in practice, research, and policy from disease-specific to patient-centered models of care delivery.

Invited letter: the evolving model of health care in the United States: system change is not enough.
In this letter, the author argues that the spread of new health care delivery models such as the Patient-Centered Medical Home and Accountable Care Organizations are necessary to improve population health but do not fully address the need for a fundamental change in how patients think about and access care. He calls for raising patient awareness of how the health care delivery system works and draws attention to practitioners’ concerns about patient satisfaction as a definitive marker of quality.
