Employers, health plans, provider
organizations, government and policy leaders are clamoring for changes to
existing physician care delivery and compensation structures. A growing shortage
of primary care physicians and the growing prevalence of chronic disease has
accelerated demand for a new model of care delivery. The Medical Home, as a new
model for primary care, has emerged, evolved and gained considerable traction,
even being embedded in Medicare pilot programs enabled under the Tax Relief and
Health Care Reform Act of 2006. The new Medical Home model has significant
implications for primary care delivery and compensation, chronic care
management, evidence based medicine, personal health records, and related
initiatives.
In this session, National Thought Leader Paul Keckley will discuss "The Medical Home: Disruptive Innovation for a New Primary Care
Model", and William DeMarco will address "Medical Home Implications
for Provider Networks, Health Plans and Hospitals."
