In a period of dynamic change in the organization and ownership of primary care practices, is it important to ensure that independent practice models remain in the care-delivery ecosystem? The committee that authored the 2021 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report, Implementing High-Quality Primary Care, recognized a continued role for independent primary care practices. The committee recommended that primary care “[p]ayment should be adequate to support high-quality, independent primary care practices and flexible enough to support an emerging array of new delivery models.” This roundtable discussion among leading proponents, practitioners and partners of independent primary care will discuss the important characteristics of independent practices and promising strategies to sustain them.

This webinar is made possible with support from The Commonwealth Fund.

Cost: free
The webinar will be recorded and available on PCC's website within 24 hours following the conclusion of the webinar.
