Abstract
The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) has high potential value depending on its implementation and clinical setting. We studied the perceived value of the AWV in a residency clinic providing care for underserved patients. Qualitative interviews with both physicians and patients with deidentified transcription and immersion-crystallization analysis. Physicians and patients identified the following learning points: 1) preparing patients for the AWV; 2) aligning expectations and agenda; and 3) optimizing the value of the AWV given patients' competing demands. The Medicare AWV is a promising tool but needs thoughtful implementation to make it valuable in underserved trainee settings.
