Kaiser "Primary Care"?

[kellymac]

I am in the early process of interviewing for a position with Kaiser.  One of the questions they've asked me to answer is to detail my experience working in "Primary Care".  I have been a RN for over 15 years, have worked in six states in different hospital settings, and I have no idea what they're talking about.  Is primary care referring to adult medicine?  Is it a clinic setting?  I feel like an idiot but I don't want to answer inappropriately and lose out on the opportunity.  Help?  LOL

It is usually referring to a point of first contact where people receive routine outpatient medical care (especially preventive care, management of common chronic conditions that don't require specialist management and acute conditions that don't require hospital level care). Usually including general peds, family medicine and general internists etc. 

Yes it is typically a clinic setting. 
For what kind of position are you applying? 

If "primary care" as defined above doesn't make sense for the role/application, is there any chance they are asking about primary nursing care, which is a nursing care delivery model often utilized with inpatient care?
