The 2025 Scorecard Report from the Milbank Memorial Fund highlights the significant issues facing U.S. primary care due to chronic underinvestment. Despite being a critical sector for improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs, primary care has been neglected, with spending consistently declining and systemic issues exacerbating the problem. The report outlines how insufficient funding, outdated payment models, and workforce shortages are preventing primary care from meeting growing patient needs. This neglect has led to a cycle of increased reliance on expensive emergency services, escalating overall healthcare costs, and declining public health outcomes.
The key pain points highlighted in the 2025 Scorecard Report on U.S. primary care include:
- Limited Access to Data and Information:Â Without technology primary care providers often struggle to access comprehensive, up-to-date patient information. This can lead to errors, redundancies, and inefficiencies in care, especially when patients see multiple specialists or seek care across different settings.
- Lack of Preventive Care:Â There is limited focus on preventive services, such as screenings and wellness check-ups, that could help avoid costly interventions and improve long-term health outcomes. Preventive care is essential for managing chronic conditions and reducing healthcare costs.
