Workshop B. - Strategies for Deploying the PCMH Model across the PPS

During this workshop, a subject matter expert will provide a brief overview of the topic and walk through the following questions with participants for group discussion:

  1. What approach has your PPS taken to achieve PCMH recognition across PPS providers? Are there particular forms of support/technical assistance that have been most helpful (e.g., group facilitation, 1:1 support) and has this differed for small practices vs. larger provider groups?
  2. What strategies have you found to be most effective in ensuring that PPS providers are adopting PCMH functions in their daily practices (i.e. implementing changes to ensure they are functioning as true PCMHs)? Are there specific PCMH-related DSRIP requirements where you are seeking additional support on (e.g., care coordination, workforce development/training, etc.)?
  3. How are you aligning your PPS's PCMH-related efforts with other federal/state reforms (i.e., SIM and TCPI)? Are there specific considerations that you think other PPSs should be aware of in terms of leveraging existing programs to achieve DSRIP-related outcomes?

Workshop C. - How to Roll-out Effective HIT Management to PPS Partners

During this workshop, a subject matter expert will provide a brief overview of the topic and walk through the following questions with participants for group discussion:

  1. What approaches have you used to date to assess the HIT capabilities of your partner providers (i.e., surveys and phone calls)? How have you used the collected information to stratify outreach to providers based on their HIT adoption/capabilities status (e.g., prioritizing the late adopters to get them started sooner)?
  2. Have you leveraged any data exchange incentive programs to help enhance HIT/data exchange capabilities within your PPS? Are there any programs you would like additional information about?
  3. How have you developed relationships with EMR vendors to further support data exchange capabilities with PPS providers?
  4. Are you piloting any alternative processes to manage current patient consent barriers to sharing patient information across PPS partners?
  5. How have you leveraged RHIO functionality to support provider alerting? To manage patient rosters/engagement data?
  6. What strategies are you pursuing to collect data and to fill in gaps to support quality measures reporting?
