PCPCC Announces Release of Two Task Force Resources at Stakeholders' Meeting

ATTENTION PCPCC MEMBERS:

At our July 22nd Stakeholders' Working Group Meeting, the Collaborative will be releasing two guides from our PCPCC Task Forces.  If you are unable to attend our conference or wish to download a copy of the guides, please find them attached.

"The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH): Integrating Comprehensive Medication Management  to Optimize Patient Outcomes" was developed by the PCPCC Medication Management Task Force under the Center for Public Payer Implementation (CPPI), whose charge is to promote the PCMH concept in all facets of the public payer system. The Center believes that critical to the success of the PCMH is the ability to maximize the appropriate use of medications to prevent and control disease.  

"Payment Reform to Support High-Performing Practice"  was developed by the Payment Reform Task Force and represents the work of a diverse group of PCPCC stakeholders and collaborators interested in exploring payment reform as a means of supporting the PCMH and transforming primary care in the U.S. Many other organizations are examining payment reform proposals; the PCPCC’s task force is focusing on them from the unique perspective of their impact on the PCMH.  The task force’s goal was not to identify a “best” payment reform proposal, but rather to point out the strengths and shortcomings of available models so that PCMH advocates could choose the model that best suits their needs and circumstances. 

Thanks
