This webinar brings together thought leaders to examine how and when Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) with a strong foundation of primary care spend less and achieve better results for patients. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about recent complementary research from Harvard Medical School and the Primary Care Collaborative/Graham Center that leverages data from the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). Aledade will provide an industry perspective on these findings, sharing their experience leveraging primary care tools in ACOs.
Mental Health conditions including mental illness, and substance abuse have become a prevalent issue in this country affecting at least 18% of US adults. Most behavioral health services begin in primary care settings, however traditional reimbursement models are poorly supportive of models that integrate Primary Care and Mental Health, which hinders physician care. Dr. Bruce Landon, and Dr. Russell Phillips from Harvard Medical School offered their approaches which included two Medicare Payment models entitled the Collaborative Care Model, and the Care Behaviorist Model. Also, Dr.
The panelists on this webinar are thought leaders in work to advance the measurement of primary care spending – at the state, federal and international level.
Increasing our utilization of primary care will lead to lower costs, higher patient satisfaction, fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and lower mortality. Unfortunately, it is difficult to measure actual primary care spend, which makes it difficult to quantify primary care investment and clearly demonstrate these positive associated outcomes.
The panelists will describe recent work including:
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.

3. Discover how involving patient and family advisors positively impacts implementation of Choosing Wisely tools into your practice.
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.
