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.
What activities "count" towards meeting the PFE Performance Metrics and how can you reach these goals without adding more to your plate? We've got answers!
Join us for Part 2 in our series on PFE Performance Metrics as we present a comprehensive overview of Medication Management, Support for the Patient and Family Voice, and E-tools! This event is designed to help PTNs, clinicians, quality improvement staff, and other healthcare professionals better understand the PFE Metrics and its application in practice settings.
Practices participating in the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) are constantly aiming towards effective transformation through the implementation of meaningful person-centered care. In support of this goal, TCPI recently released Person and Family Engagement (PFE) performance measures that healthcare staff can use to strengthen partnerships in ambulatory care.
Creating and sustaining an organizational culture of patient-centered care goes beyond the implementation of discrete projects and sporadic involvement of patients and families.
Indeed, culture is so much greater than the sum of individual efforts and initiatives. It is WHAT you do, HOW you do it, WHO you involve, and more. That’s why for many practices, culture change can feel so daunting and complex. However, without a strong cultural underpinning for patient and family engagement strategies, these interventions run the risk of falling short of driving true engagement.
In partnership with the PCPCC SAN, the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care (IPFCC) offers technical assistance/programmatic support around patient engagement to Practice Transformation Networks (PTN) in TCPI. Support given through in-person trainings, online learning events, and evidence-based resources is essential and proves to be successful in transforming the way practices deliver care.
The PCPCC SAN and HealthTeamWorks have joined forces to present a webinar that will focus on meaningful patient engagement in transformation using a blended model to inform and improve progress toward the Quadruple Aim. Patient experience surveys at the corporate and practice level provide quantitative patient experience results that are helpful to leadership teams.
