Led by nationally recognized thought leader Paul Keckley, PhD, this session will explore the Medical Home model in depth with respect to trends and issues driving the need and demand for such disruptive innovation; the components, critical features, stakeholders and key topics relating to the model; the impact of the model on chronic care management and major stakeholders; and financial considerations of the model. William DeMarco, a national expert on healthcare delivery system redesign and transformation for provider organizations, health plans and hospitals, will expand upon the strategic, financial and operational implications for these organizations.
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.
