The Shared Principles of Primary Care is a powerful framework that charts a new chapter for advanced primary care. The Principles were developed through a multi-stakeholder collaborative effort, with leadership from the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC) and Family Medicine for American’s Health (FMAHealth), as well as input from organizations that span all aspects of healthcare including consumers and payers.
Overview
Identifying low-value care is a necessary condition for reducing provision of such care to patients. Further, ensuring that metrics about low-value services are sensitive to patient’s values, goals, and preferences is essential. AcademyHealth, in partnership with the ABIM Foundation, has developed a set of priorities through engagement of multi-stakeholder groups to develop, test, and use measures of low-value care that are sensitive to patient’s values. This webinar will encompass discussion of the rationale and scope of the project, the prioritization methods, and implications of the prioritization endeavors for low-value care measurement. Participants will have an opportunity to weigh in, share their experiences, and ask panelists questions to help inform their work.
This webinar was funded through a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Engagement Award Initiative (3409). The content does not necessarily represent the views of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), its Board of Governors, or Methodology Committee.

This webinar will review the key provisions of the proposed 2018 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) rule, including proposed changes to the MSSP beneficiary assignment methodology, refinements to the quality data reporting validation process for ACOs and compliance details associated with the Tax Identification Number (TIN) exclusivity requirements for ACOs. Attendees will also receive updates on proposed changes to telehealth services and Chronic Care Management (CCM) billing codes for 2018, among other issues.
On June 20, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a proposed rule with updates to the quality payment program (QPP) for physicians and other clinicians required by Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). The rule proposes changes that would impact reporting requirements starting in 2018. Whether your clinicians are employed, under contract, or independent, the rule will have implications for how you work together to deliver safe, high-quality care.

Change of shift report is the time when responsibility and accountablility for the care of a patient is transferred from one nurse to another. Bringing nurse change of shift report to the bedside is integral to enhancing patient safety. Yet, discussion of the patient with the patient and/or family present raises several challenges for nursing staff. Join Terry Griffin to learn strategies for supporting patient and/or family inclusion in change of shirt report.
