Innovators explain how independent practices can coordinate care
An AMA webinar Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. Eastern time will share ways physicians can better coordinate care through clinical integration. Register today.
Hosted by the AMA Innovators Committee, this webinar will provide insights from physician innovators who have improved care coordination and built integrated systems without moving to an employment model.
This webinar will help physicians:
- Identify a path toward more integrated care delivery that does not involve employment.
- Define what it means to provide virtually, vertically and horizontally integrated care.
- Recognize the operational structure of independent physician associations and cloud-based systems for data sharing.
- Use technology solutions to improve care coordination within and outside of their practices.
Physicians can earn continuing medical education credit in the form of AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ by participating in this webinar. Registration is free for AMA members, and nonmembers can sign up for $30. If you’re not an AMA member, join today.
This webinar is the third of a seven-part AMA series titled "Delivery and payment: Early innovators share what they’ve learned." Future webinars will offer guidance on such topics as benchmarking practice performance and customizing new payment models to fit individual physician practices.
