In its report, ACP offers a five-point Candidate's Pledge designed to gain candidate commitments to support a series of recommendations.

The recommendations result from a new ACP evidence-based policy paper, Achieving a High-Performance Health Care System with Universal Access: What the United States Can Learn from Other Countries.

Create workforce and payment polices to increase the numbers of primary care physicians, recognize the value of primary care, and support care organized through a patient-centered medical home.

By providing ACP's members---125,000 internists and medical students nationwide---with a Web-based tool to evaluate the candidates' positions (www.acponline.org/advocacy/where_we_stand/election) based on ACP's benchmarks for a high performing system, it hopes to challenge the candidates to embrace ACP's proposals and to help our members evaluate the candidates accordingly.

Primary care physicians would receive higher compensation commensurate with their critical role in helping patients get high quality and efficient care.

Patients and their physicians would have electronic health records to provide them with evidence-based treatment guidelines, laboratory and diagnostic test results, medication lists, and medical histories at the point of care.
