STFM 2010 Annual Spring Conference

STFM The PCMH will be incorporated into the conference theme for our annual meeting, through the theme, "LEAD the Way: Leadership, Education, and Advocacy Development to Create a PCMH." We have a PCMH track as part of the 2010 annual meeting offerings.

STFM/SGIM/APA Project\

STFM collaborated on a project to hold a national conference on the PCMH. The Society of General Internal Medicine is the lead organization on this project. STFM and the Academic Pediatrics Association are the co-leads. The purpose of this conference was to develop a policy-relevant research agenda for the PCMH and identify key questions that policy makers will need the answers to so they can institute policies and enact legislation to implement the PCMH model, both within Medicare and the private sector. The summit was held July 27-28, in Washington, DC and the family medicine folks had a strong presence. See attach for the list of FM attendees. The conference included presentations and discussions around five topics:

  1. The landscape of PCMH demonstrations and evaluations

  2. Defining and Measuring the PCMH

  3. Quality and Outcomes of the PCMH

  4. Financing and Payment Models for the PCMH

  5. Transforming Practice

STFM/AAFP Conference on Practice Improvement
