PCC Webinar: The Secret Sauce: How Some Primary Care Practices Are Surviving COVID-19

While the coronavirus has been deadly for tens of thousands of Americans, primary care, a vital foundation of a high-functioning health system, is also facing deathly blows. Layoffs and furloughs, sharply declining income, and high stress are some of the forces that have been battering primary care practices for months. Yet some practices have been able to weather the COVID-19 storm better than others. This webinar recording looks at how they are doing so, examining how they are paid, their existing care management and IT infrastructure, leadership and governance, and other factors. We learn from the survivors by hearing from leaders at two primary care practices and their health plan counterparts.
