The Role of Leadership in Creating a Culture of Patient and Family-Centered Care
Engaged and committed leadership has emerged as an essential element for driving the practice transformation outlined in the TCPI change package. But what does “engaged and committed leadership” look like day-to-day in the office? What leadership behaviors and actions facilitate the delivery of patient- and family-centered care? And what difference do these actions make in the transformation effort?
This webinar will focus on the new Dartmouth Atlas report, the importance of systems of care that address the needs of older Americans and how this information can be used by advocates in policy and practice work for older adults. The work of Rhode Island advocates will be highlighted as an example of how to affect change, and Dr. Ann Hwang will offer opportunities for provider/consumer collaboration.
All patients, families, and clinicians have unique cultural backgrounds. This webinar, facilitated by the National Center for Medical Home Implementation, will provide attendees with practical tools, strategies, and guidance on how to acknowledge culture, improve quality of care through cultural competence, and enhance the patient and family experience within a pediatric medical home.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Anxiety is prevalent and burdensome among primary care patients. Although there are many effective anxiety interventions of longer formats for use in specialty mental health settings, it can be challenging for Behavioral Health Consultants to translate these interventions to fit the scope and format of Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH). This presentation is designed to increase clinicians’ knowledge and skills regarding evidence-based interventions for anxiety that can be adapted for use in PCBH.
Managing substance use within the context of providing care is always challenging. Because most patients in busy clinical settings have a wide range of complex medical and social needs, providers often require timely support in addressing the difficult issues of addiction, chronic pain, and behavioral health.
Individual practices, private payers, and state and federal governments are all making significant investments to improve the quality of primary health care and achieve better health outcomes, especially for patients with complex needs. Sustainable patient-centered medical homes were among the first of these efforts, but is there strong enough evidence for policymakers to decide whether this innovative model is working?
The momentum for transformation of primary care into a patient-centered medical home continues to show promise for achieving improved quality and reduced costs! Register for a 1-hour webinar hosted by the Institute for Practice- and Family-Centered Careto explore how working with patient and family advisors to implement a PCMH has been a powerful catalyst for change in the patient and provider experience. Hear about practical examples and the tools used to identify solutions and new ways of working together.
When the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) legislation passed in April 2015, everyone cheered the repeal of the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula for Medicare physician payment. Now, even before the MACRA regulations are even promulgated, it's time to pay attention because Medicare physician payments in 2019 will be impacted by their performance in 2017, just a year from now.
