J J Pattee

In fulfilling the need for physician involvement in the care of the elderly in long-term facilities, family physicians can function in three roles. First, they can apply their knowledge and skills to the complex multisystemic problems they encounter as attending physicians. Second, they can develop and organize services as medical directors. Third, they can help to assure quality of care through service on utilization review committees.
