	“Unfortunately, the original CPC pilot - on which CPC + is based - has yet to show any meaningful changes in claims expense, clinical outcomes, or the patient experience of care. Given the apparent similarities between CPC and CPC+, the latter initiative does not have a good prognosis. Credit to CMS, however, for continuing to try. While this raises important questions about the ability of care management to have much of an impact in a Medicare fee-for-service setting, I personally think the CPC+ initiative may be helped by a greater emphasis on predictive risk stratification, robust decision support, and the deployment of user-friendly handheld technology.” - Jaan E. Sidorov, MD, FACP, Author, Disease Management Care Blog, Independent Health Care Consultant.
