The PCPCC’s October webinar, Innovations in Caring for Persons with Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias, where attendees will hear from three organizations and their efforts to provide comprehensive, coordinated, patient-centered care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. 

On October 2, 2019, PCPCC hosted the webinar, "Patient Portals and Primary Care: What use of a portal could mean for your patients" in which Mary Reed, DrPH, research scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research presented findings from some of her latest research on patient portal use. She was joined by Lisa Letourneau, MD, MPH, an experienced physician and public health advocate to hear the physician perspective on the findings, as well as Rosalin Cox, a patient who was involved in conducting the research.

Green Center, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and Amir Qaseem, MD, PhD, Vice President, Clinical Policy, American College of Physicians, discuss the pros and cons of the person-centered primary care measure and how it can be utilized to assess the aspects of care thought to represent high-value primary care by patients, clinicians, and payers.
