National Briefing: Kavita Patel on Doc Payment Reform
Thursday, June 27th
 
Dear Members and Friends:

This morning we are excited to offer you a jam-packed agenda during our Monthly National Briefing, which will wrap up our month-long dedication to the topic of payment reform (today, June 27, 11AM ET). First, we will hear from Dr. Kavita Patel of The Brookings Institution; a passionate physician and policy leader, and an expert on payment reform. Kavita will discuss her work with the National Commission on Physician Payment Reform, and their recent report. The report provides twelve recommendations to drastically reform the current fee-for-service payment system to a quality and value-based system over five years.  
 
The second half of our call will include an overview of the PCPCC 3-year strategic plan, adopted by our board in April 2013. Our Chairman, David K. Nace, MD will join to review the PCPCC's strategic framework, and projects and activities to keep an eye out for in the coming months.

Here are some helpful links for today's call:
We look forward to catching up with you at 11AM ET! And in case you can't make it, we'll post the recording here after the call.
 
Sincerely,

Marci Nielsen, PhD, MPH
Chief Executive Officer

Thursday Throwback: National Commission Calls for Drastic Doc Fix
Today Dr. Kavita Patel from The Brookings Institution will discuss the March 2013 report from The National Commission on Physician Payment Reform. The report provides a set of twelve recommendations for changing the way doctors are paid in order to reduce health care spending and improve quality.

Led by former Robert Wood Johnson Foundation president Steven A. Schroeder, MD, and former Senator Majority leader Bill Frist, MD, calls for eliminating stand-alone fee-for-service payment by the end of the decade, and includes fast-tracking new models of care, such as accountable care organizations and medical homes.

Building Momentum for the PCPCC Strategic Plan
Recognizing this extraordinary moment in time to position the patient-centered medical home as a catalyst for health system transformation, the PCPCC board and staff developed a 3-year strategic plan in April 2013. The framework provides a series of mission-driven goals that build on PCPCC’s leadership, and support the marketplace shift toward medical neighborhoods and accountable, integrated health systems.

Over the next three years, the PCPCC’s work will focus on the following strategic goals:
  • Maximize Stakeholder Centers to enhance PCPCC’s thought leadership position
  • Launch strategic initiatives that reengage target audiences
  • Adopt a formal business plan to sustain and strengthen the organization
  • Leverage marketing and communications opportunities to advance PCPCC thought leadership and patient-centered primary care
