Since 2011, Medicare has covered annual wellness visits (AWVs), yet few who are eligible for this benefit take advantage of it. To better understand why, we interviewed physicians and patients within our St. Louis Park-based health system. The interview questions were designed to identify physicians' and patients' perceptions of the value of the AWV and reasons people don't take advantage of this Medicare benefit. This article presents the results of this qualitative study and offers strategies health care organizations can.adopt to promote more effective, consistent use of AWVs. These strategies include standardizing policies regarding the AWV across the organization and incorporating them into team care.
自2011年以来，医疗保险已涵盖年度健康检查（AWV），但符合这项福利条件的人中很少有人利用它。为了更好地理解原因，我们采访了我们位于圣路易斯公园的医疗系统中的医生和患者。访谈问题旨在确定医生和患者对AWV价值的看法以及人们不利用这项医疗保险福利的原因。本文介绍了这项定性研究的结果，并提供了医疗保健组织可以采用的策略，以促进更有效、一致地使用AWV。这些策略包括在整个组织内规范有关AWV的政策，并将其纳入团队护理。
