AB Chapter  3  distinguished  primary  from  secondary  and  tertiary  care.  Primary  care  has  been  defined  as  core  functions  that  patients  receive  from  their  usual  source  of  care.  The  World  Health  Organization  (WHO)  recognized  the  important  role  played  by  primary  care.  Similar  to  the  Institute  of  Medicine’s  6  dimensions  of  quality  (STEEEP,  see  Chapter  5),  the  WHO  stated  that  primary  care  should  be  comprehensive,  integrated,  continuous,  team-based,  patient  empowering,  health  promoting,  and  bridging  of  personal  and  family  and  community  health.1
