A great discussion paper by Montori et al. for @harvard-carr-ryan.bsky.social.

Priorizar a los pacientes con las mayores necesidades de atención: es hora de que los médicos de familia lideren

por Amanda Niklasson a, Victor M. Montori, Minna Johansson Traducción del original en Am Fam Physician. 2025;111(4):302-303 a Global Center for Sustainable Healthcare, Gothenburg, Sweden, and University of Gothenburg Según una estimación, los médicos de familia tendrían que trabajar 27 horas diarias para seguir las guías de práctica clínica que se aplican a sus pacientes, y más de la mitad de esas horas se dedicarían a la prevención en individuos asintomáticos.
