What Is Family Medicine Care?

Family Medicine care is the first line of defense patients have against health issues. Since people often reach out to their family medicine providers first with undiagnosed symptoms, these professionals are capable of addressing multiple healthcare needs and treating various diseases. While family medicine providers are skilled in numerous areas of medicine, they may refer a patient to a specialist if they believe the person needs more complex care. They also collaborate with other healthcare professionals to gain different perspectives.

A person may only see a medical specialist or need emergency medicine once or twice, but most people will see a family medicine provider many times. Therefore, these providers focus on developing long-term relationships with their patients. They educate patients on disease prevention and provide strategies for maintaining good health.

Although a patient may not seek a specialist until a health concern arises, they should consider having a family medicine provider for annual checkups. After all, they may detect a health issue the patient would not notice otherwise.

Benefits of Having a Family Medicine Provider

People with family medicine providers tend to manage their health better, as these providers offer care that no other medical professionals can deliver in the same way. Some of the advantages that come with having a family medicine provider include:

  • Preventative care: Family medicine providers recognize if a patient is at risk for developing a disease or condition based on their current health situation. They can suggest strategies the patient can take to alter their lifestyle and mitigate the potential for future health problems.
  • Medication monitoring: Some prescription medications interact negatively with others. A family medicine provider will supervise different prescriptions their patients have to ensure the drugs do not compound their symptoms or lead to new health issues. They may communicate with the prescribing provider to identify alternative medications.
  • Continuity of care: Since people see family medicine providers regularly, these providers know more about their patient’s health. As a result, they can diagnose conditions with more accuracy.
  • Convenience: If a patient becomes sick or is experiencing unusual symptoms, having a family medicine provider gives them quick access to treatment. While they may not be able to see the provider right away, they know they can trust the provider to deliver guidance catered to their unique health situation. In some cases, a family medicine provider can help a patient over the phone.
  • Behavioral Health: Family Medicine providers do not stop at physical health—they also investigate their patient’s mental and emotional states. They may screen their patients for anxiety, depression, or similar issues, and refer them to a behavioral health specialist if the results suggest more help is required.
