C. New NASHP Publication - 'Opportunities and Recommendations for State-Federal Coordination to Improve Health System Performance: A Focus on Patient Safety'

The federal government and the states-as regulators, purchasers, and providers of health care-have various levers available to improve health care quality. When federal and state policies are designed to use these levers in a coordinated manner, the influence of both levels of government on the quality of care is enhanced. To explore potential topics where congruent policies may be developed and to consider ways to foster collaborative policy development going forward, the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) convened a meeting of high-level state and national leaders in October 2009.  To download the full report, please click here.

 

D.  New Learning Collaborative to Prepare Clinicians for Better Chronic Care

HealthSciences Institute will sponsor a new learning collaborative for health care professionals, teams and organizations who serve individuals at risk of, or affected by, chronic diseases in employer, health plan, medical home and other provider settings.
The collaborative will offer free, noncommercial webinars on topics, solutions and case studies in chronic disease prevention, management and care improvement. Each webinar will include a brief presentation, ask-the-expert segment, and targeted discussion on the application of new learning to participant job roles. Discussion will continue online between sessions.
The collaborative is a component of a new HealthSciences Institute-sponsored Partners in Improvement initiative that will offer free online chronic care improvement resources and tools to health care organizations and professionals.
“Nurses and other professionals who serve at-risk individuals—in settings from health plans to medical homes—want affordable, noncommercial learning activities that prepare them for the real-world challenges of chronic care. They also understand that some of the most valuable lessons are learned through collaboration and problem-solving with peers,” cites Blake Andersen, PhD, President and CEO of HealthSciences Institute.

L. Another Resource from the Healthcare Intelligence Network - Model Medical Homes: Benchmarks and Case Studies in Patient-Centered Care
 
Healthcare is poised for a major transformation under the  Obama administration, and the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is increasingly positioned as a panacea for primary care. Although awareness and adoption of the PCMH has increased greatly in recent years, many healthcare organizations are only beginning to familiarize themselves with the principles and benefits of patient-centered care.
 
Model Medical Homes: Benchmarks and Case Studies in Patient-Centered Care is a landmark publication that documents the healthcare industry's adoption of the patient-centered medical home model of care. This exclusive 65-page report analyzes the responses of more than 220 healthcare organizations to HIN's 2009 Industry Survey on the Patient-Centered Medical Home Model.

V. PCMH in the Press
 
"Redlands doctor's practice reflects health care model proposed under reform bill", Lora Hines, The Press Enterprise, A business model like the one a Redlands doctor started using decades ago to control costs and provide quality care has captured attention in Washington, D.C., as lawmakers debate health care legislation. Since the mid-1980s, Dr. Alexander Terrazas of Redlands Family Practice has contracted with specialists and Redlands Community Hospital to rein in costs and coordinate patients' care. Models like Terrazas', known as accountable care organizations, are among the options included in health care bills before the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. They emphasize the need for patients to get more primary, preventive care to keep them out of more expensive specialists' offices and hospitals.  To read the full article, please click here.
