The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Committee on Implementing High-Quality Primary Care has invited representatives from several patient groups to share what primary care means to the patients they represent and how it can serve them better.
Join the Bipartisan Policy Center as experts on Capitol Hill and healthcare providers in the field discuss the current state of telehealth. Will highlight health IT policy recommendations from BPC’s recently released rural health report and ways to make telehealth a regular service for patients, especially in rural areas.
This webinar will focus on the concepts of 'trust' and 'equity' and how the two are closely linked in health care. Speakers will discuss the importance of building trust in working to address and eliminate health disparities.
Attendees will hear from:
- Daniel Wolfson: Executive Vice President and COO of the ABIM Foundation, which launched an initiative called “Trust in Health Care” in 2018.
Join PCC’s next monthly webinar on Tuesday, December 17 at 12:30pm ET for a discussion of how to successfully manage and optimize patient medications in the context of primary care. Hear from three different speakers representing a range of perspectives on the topic of pharmacy and primary care including a provider (Maria S. Kobylinski, Geisinger Health), a pharmacy benefit manager (Heather Schultz, IngenioRx) and a policy thought leader (Shannon Brownlee, Lown Institute).
Join us for the webinar “Primary Care Measurement: What’s Working and What’s Not” as Rebecca Etz, PhD, Associate Professor, Family Medicine and Population Health and Co-Director, The Larry A. Green Center, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and Amir Qaseem, MD, PhD, Vice President, Clinical Policy, American College of Physicians, discuss the pros and cons of the person-centered primary care measure and how it can be utilized to assesses the aspects of care thought to represent high-value primary care by patients, clinicians, and payers.
States, health plans, and providers, including federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), continue to move away from fee-for-service payments and toward value-based payment (VBP) arrangements. In California, as in other parts of the country, these payment arrangements reward primary care providers for improving quality and decreasing health care costs, while offering greater flexibility to deliver care in innovative ways.
