A PCMH-FOCUSED AGENDA Welcome to the 2017 Patient-Centered Medical Home Congress. This is a can’t-miss conference for those who want to be part of an expanded educational program focused on the journey of transformation and recognition success. Attend specialized tracks and network with high-level executives throughout the care delivery system.
The Merit Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) mandates four performance components that could alter how practices implement PCMHs and other practice improvement initiatives. The success of these practices will impact population health and determine the structure of the healthcare system. This presentation will review MACRA and the ACA and focus on the impact they have on under-resourced practices and hospitals, and underserved communities. (UAN 0850-9999-17-032-L04-P)
