"We are pleased that the proposed Shared Savings rule emphasizes coordination of patient care – a core tenet of patient centered medical homes. This is particularly important for vulnerable older adults with numerous health problems, who use the most health care services, at the highest cost, but with the poorest health outcomes." Debra L. Ness, Leader, Campaign for Better Care, Washington, DC
