About the Webconference
Diverse stakeholders—practices, health systems, payers, and others—are pursuing more effective population management via major rollouts of the medical home (PCMH) model. Success in expanding and coordinating these initiatives into regional multi-stakeholder models requires thorough understanding and competence in building (and communicating) common motivations, win-win-win financials, and scalable transformation support solutions.
Beginning in early 2010, leaders of the Adirondack Medical Home Pilot managed to organize 33 independent physician practices, seven private health plans, and five hospitals and health systems into a major regional PCMH pilot, which CMS later joined.
This webconference shares how the pilot’s leaders were able to:
- Identify a common burning platform to motivate multiple independent stakeholders
- Establish common standards for delivery system redesign
- Develop a sustainable financial model
- Creating a scalable care management infrastructure
- Building a shared IT network to support the pilot’s aims
Dennis Weaver, MD, the chief medical officer and executive vice president of Southwind, a division of The Advisory Board Company, joined Medical Home Project staff to share his experience developing the Adirondack Medical Home Pilot and take questions live from webconference participants.
