The Commonwealth Fund released a report mid-January on a 2009 Survey of Clinic Patients in New Orleans. “Coming Out of Crisis: Patient Experiences in Primary Care in New Orleans, Four Years Post-KatrinaÔÇöFindings from The Commonwealth Fund 2009 Survey of Clinic Patients in New Orleans” makes for interesting reading and is only 35 pages long. A quick quote that demonstrates the tone of the report, “The findings are encouraging: most patients reported having easy access to care, helpful communication with clinicians, good management of their chronic illnesses, and preventive care. When they needed care, costs did not deter them from seeking it.”
