This webinar provides an overview of Peer Support services, highlights an organization actively connecting families of children with special needs, and reviews a number of resources available for clinics and families.
Hosted by the PCPCC Support & Alignment Network, this webinar will:
1. Explore Choosing Wisely as a strategy for improving care and enhancing patient and family engagement.
2. Learn how implementation of Choosing Wisely effectively engages patients at the point of care and increases shared decision making.
3. Discover how involving patient and family advisors positively impacts implementation of Choosing Wisely tools into your practice.
This webinar highlighted the work of leading organizations and their efforts to engage patients and families in making smart decisions about their healthcare. The panelists organizations are partnering with PCPCC’s Support and Alignment Network (SAN) to integrate Choosing Wisely into quality improvement activities that support practices enrolled in Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI).
On this webinar, physicians in distinct practice settings shared their strategies to overcome challenges to practicing ideal primary care. These challenges included internal communications issues, care coordination, patient engagement, and supporting high-value outcomes. Participants discussed where these strategies can be successful and where additional solutions are needed.
On this webinar, Evan Saulino, MD, PhD, discussed new legislation in Oregon, passed in July 2017, to double, over a five-year period, the amount of money spent by all Oregon payers on primary care. These additional funds will be channeled into primary care alternative payment models. In addition, Dr. Saulino described innovative work by the Oregon Health Authority Patient-Centered Primary Care Home Program (PCPCH).
At the briefing on Capitol Hill, hosted by the Congressional Primary Care Caucus, the Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC) unveiled its latest report highlighting new evidence that links the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) and other forms of advanced primary care with improved outcomes, but not in every study examined.
Successful practice transformation requires the adoption of broad population health strategies. Community-based organizations can play an integral role in this arena. As providers accept more risk under value-based payment models, there is a greater emphasis on managing chronic disease. Evidence-based programs targeting persons with two or more chronic conditions have increasing importance to success with the introduction of new payment models.
In this webinar, patient and family engagement experts connect the TCPI Metrics with improvement activity requirements of the CMS Quality Payment Program.
Addressing a person's physical and behavioral health is vital for positive health outcomes and cost-effective care. Integrated care is an effective model because it houses primary care and behavioral health services in one setting. This model also supports a team-based approach to care delivery, as it combines the various field expertise of clinicians with input from patients and their caregivers.
