As pressure continues to mount on healthcare providers to offer comprehensive and cost-effective care, the focus is increasingly being directed towards the strengthening of primary care systems. Leading the way in this endeavor is the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), which has been developing and testing a range of progressive multi-payer advanced primary care models over recent years.
In an effort to build on these models, CMMI has announced another opportunity for providers and payers to participate in a promising new initiative called the Making Care Primary model. The underlying principle of this model is the provision of “whole person care”; a concept that prioritizes prevention and fosters team-based, relationship-based care.
This model aims to revitalize primary care by encouraging firms to invest in its advancement. It’s considered a strategic choice for these corporations, enabling them to improve quality, increase patient satisfaction, and control costs. This innovative strategy is expected to significantly impact the future direction of primary care services, paving the way for sustainable healthcare systems.
To shed light on this issue and provide legal professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the Making Care Primary model, an upcoming webinar scheduled for November 16, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm ET, will delve into the specifics of the new model.
The discussion will be spearheaded by Manatt, Phelps, & Phillips, LLP, and is expected to address the following:
- Features of the Making Care Primary model and its potential advantages when compared to the standard model of primary care.
- An overview of the investment opportunities presented by the model and the considerations for providers contemplating participation.
- Analysis of the model’s goal of delivering high-quality primary care and its potential impact on the healthcare sector as a whole.
This webinar offers an invaluable opportunity for legal professionals working within the healthcare industry, particularly those in corporate legal departments and law firms advising healthcare clients, to gain a deeper understanding of CMMI’s latest initiative and the evolving landscape of primary healthcare.
