Session A
9:00 - 10:00 AM
Working Effectively with Employer-Based, PCMH On-Site Health Centers
Hosted by: AAAHC

As more large employers offer health care at the work site, stakeholders from across the health care marketplace have initiated collaborations with employers, providers, and health plans. This session will focus on the unique demands for reducing health care costs, improving employee productivity, and integrating wellness into the workplace through on-site clinics. It will also explore opportunities for providing on-site care using the patient-centered medical home model.

Success Stories: Improving Patient Care through Medical Home and Home Health Collaborations
Hosted by: Alliance for Home Health Quality and Innovation (AHHQI)

As emerging models of care delivery continue to focus on putting the patient at the center of care, there is a natural partnership between medical homes and home health providers. AHHQI, a non-profit research organization, will feature a variety of case studies of effective collaborations among home health providers and medical homes, and their impact on quality and patient outcomes.

Comprehensive Health Management Strategies to Improve Outcomes and Reduce Cost of Care
Hosted by: Health Diagnostic Laboratory, Inc.

While recent discoveries in advanced diagnostics and blood-based biomarkers have enabled us to implement early disease diagnoses, translation of these discoveries into clinical care continues to be a challenge. However, forward-looking wellness companies have an opportunity to significantly shorten the cycle of change, and bring new scientific discoveries to patient care. HDL, Inc. has shown that a comprehensive blood-based biomarker testing strategy provides an immediate snapshot into disease susceptibility, as well as the presence of early disease, and allows for early intervention to slow the progression of disease, and even reverse its effects.

Innovative Payment Models that Align Payment with Medical Home Philosophies
Hosted by: McKesson

While the patient-centered medical home focuses on a philosophy of primary care delivery, innovative payment models can enhance the infrastructure and success of the PCMH model by decreasing the cost of care, and incenting and rewarding quality over quantity. Many organizations have learned from early initiatives and are moving forward with new payment models that further drive system goals of the Triple Aim. This session will focus on a review of these innovative payment models, and how the medical home can align payment with care delivery.

Achieving Value-Based Quality from the Bottom Up: Empowering Care Teams with Data-Aligned Metrics
Hosted by: Phytel

Many value-based payment models establish population-based quality measures from the start, but to succeed at population health initiatives, many practices require the necessary infrastructure and processes to establish
baseline measures, monitor progress, and deploy care team resources.

The PCMH, Medical Neighborhood, and Patient Journey: Implementing Excellence in Asthma Care
Hosted by: Thermo Fisher Scientific ImmunoDiagnostics

The significant cost and disease burden of asthma will be defined along with the opportunity for the patient centered medical home to be an integral solution to improved care and reduced costs in managing asthma. This session will help participants define the health burdens of asthma, understand goals of asthma management, improve asthma patient experience, and define the role of the medical home in asthma care.
Session B
10:00 - 11:00 AM
How Behavioral Health Can Save the Healthcare System: Reconnecting the Mind and the Body in Primary Care
Hosted by: American Psychological Association

This workshop will focus on efforts in Central Oregon to develop and implement a Coordinated Care Organization while transforming healthcare for more than 35,000 Medicaid recipients. The region has implemented integrated behavioral health consultants at every level of healthcare from primary care, obstetrics, pediatrics, neonatal intensive care units and critical access hospitals, to achieve the Triple Aim. This innovative public-private partnership has brought together a variety of stakeholders to support critical changes in the health care delivery system.

The AAP Digital Navigator: A New Tool to Guide Practices through Medical Home Transformation
Hosted by: American Academy of Pediatrics

This workshop will include a demonstration of the new AAP Digital Navigator tool, which is a comprehensive, modular, web-based software application that provides practices with step-by-step instruction through medical home transformation and implementation. The tool allows practices to select the focus, scope, and progress of their improvement efforts, and assign and track roles of specific practice team members. It also includes links to practical and relevant tools, document templates, articles, and educational materials.

Advanced Analytics for High-Performing Care Delivery
Hosted by: IBM

How can you better use critical social and clinical information trapped in unstructured formats? How can care teams engage naturally with patients without the documentation limitations of structured fields and drop downs? How can you use the power of predictive models to accurately target those patients who need care? IBM will help answer these questions, and share solutions that enable care teams to derive earlier, more accurate insights, using data pulled from structured and unstructured sources.

No Man is An Island: The Coordinated Journey to a Patient-Centered Healthcare System
Hosted by: NCQA

In developing the Patient Centered Specialty Practice Recognition Program, NCQA has once again brought together a team of health delivery system experts from across the country to devise a quality driven set of standards for specialty practices. With insights from purchasers, payers and consumers through both our Advisory Committee and extensive public comment period, the PCSP Standards were constructed using evidence-based research to improve the care coordination gap and help ensure the delivery of patient-centered care for all. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn how NCQA’s Patient’s Centered Specialty Practice Recognition program has been designed to help improve outcomes, reduce costs and enhance the patient experience across the medical home neighborhood.

Nine C's of Successful Accountable Primary Care Delivery
Hosted by: Lumeris, Inc.

The Accountable Delivery System Institute, the education and thought leadership arm of Lumeris, developed an Accountable Primary Care Delivery Model, which embraces the Institute of Medicine/Starfield model. The Nine C’s framework offers a roadmap to transforming a primary care practice or health system into a more accountable delivery organization. They include: first contact; comprehensive care; continuous, person-focused care; coordinated care; credible trusting relationships; collaborative learning; cost-effective care; capacity expansion; career satisfaction.

The Medical Neighborhood: PCMH Primary Care as the Catalyst to Comprehensive and Effective Collaboration
Hosted by: TransforMED

The importance of the medical neighborhood is to effectively align the interests of all physicians (primary care, specialists, sub-specialists, etc.), hospitals, human service organizations, and public health resources toward the Triple Aim. During this interactive workshop, participants will learn how primary care plays a critical and pivotal role in building a coordinated medical neighborhood within the community.  Effectively constructing relationships with other providers can be a daunting task for primary care practices and steps toward coordinated, comprehensive and efficient collaboration must be taken in order to provide a truly patient-centered environment.


How can PCMHs use real-world data to demonstrate their effectiveness?
Hosted by: WellPoint, featuring the Real World Evidence Health Collaborative (AstraZeneca, HealthCore, WESTMED)

The Real World Evidence Health Collaborative was developed to provide a venue for information sharing, and to help partners in the health industry better meet patient needs. The RWE collaborative merges patient administrative claims, lab results data and electronic medical record data to develop a longitudinal patient record. Studied collectively, this data provides important insight to population health. A pilot with WestMed established that drug compliance can be effectively tracked by matching physician’s prescriptions records with the number of prescriptions actually claimed by the patient. In addition, quality of care was optimized by using the longitudinal patient records to calculate HEDIS scores, providing a more accurate view of quality of care.
