"The current discussions about how we continue the move to pay for value
from pay for volume will serve as a distraction but will not, nor should
they, derail the significant improvements in quality and cost that
patient-centered medical homes have realized. Fortunately, the Federal
government and private insurance continue to fund patient-centered
primary care efforts, and more and more provider organizations are
responding. This should serve to focus our efforts on quality
improvements that also impact total cost of care. This alone can ensure
that tremendous improvements are sustained." Thomas Graf, MD, Chair,
Community Practice Service Line, Geisinger Health System |
