	American College of Physicians predicts crisis in primary care
		ACP's reforms recognize the value of care managed by a patient's personal physician, especially in practices that use health information technology and other innovations that center on each patient's needs.
		Primary care is under-reimbursed compared to other specialties, and many primary care physicians are struggling to keep their practices open at a time when practice costs are escalating and excessive paperwork requirements take time away from patients.
		The American College of Physicians is the largest medical specialty organization and the second-largest physician group in the United States.

	B-294881; B-294881.2, American College of Physicians Services, Inc.; COLA, January 3, 2005
		American College of Physicians Services, Inc. (ACPS) and COLA protest the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N00140-04-R-0102, issued by the Department of the Navy to procure professional accreditation services and proficiency testing for medical laboratories operated by the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.
		ACPS and COLA raise several of the same issues, although there are differences in their pleadings.
		ACPS also argued in its initial protest that the Navy improperly states the proficiency testing portions of its requirements using an approach developed by CAP, which, in ACPS's view, makes it difficult for other offerors of proficiency testing services to know which specific tests are required.
