Employers, health plans, provider organizations, government and policy leaders are clamoring for changes to existing physician care delivery and compensation structures. A growing shortage of primary care physicians and the growing prevalence of chronic disease has accelerated demand for a new model of care delivery. The Medical Home, as a new model for primary care, has emerged, evolved and gained considerable traction, even being embedded in Medicare pilot programs enabled under the Tax Relief and Health Care Reform Act of 2006. The new Medical Home model has significant implications for primary care delivery and compensation, chronic care management,  evidence based medicine, personal health records, and related initiatives. 

In this session, National Thought Leader Paul Keckley will discuss "The Medical Home: Disruptive Innovation for a New Primary Care Model", and William DeMarco will address "Medical Home Implications for Provider Networks, Health Plans and Hospitals."

Individual Registration Fee: $225. Audio Conference CD-ROM: $40 for attendees; $285 for non-attendees after the event.

William DeMarco, a national expert on healthcare delivery system redesign and transformation for provider organizations, health plans and hospitals, will expand upon the strategic, financial and operational implications for these organizations.
