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:
The landscape of PCMH demonstrations and evaluations
Defining and Measuring the PCMH
Quality and Outcomes of the PCMH
Financing and Payment Models for the PCMH
Transforming Practice
Workshop on Residency Training for the PCMH
On October 25, 2008 STFM and the University of South Carolina cosponsored a faculty development workshop in Columbia, SC called “Training for the PCMH: Integrating Practice Redesign into the Residency Curriculum.” Libby Baxley put together a strong team that led the workshop for the 48 participants. This workshop focused on helping residency faculty build their knowledge and skills on the subject of preparing learners for practicing in PCMHs. The presenting faculty own the material presented at the workshop, and STFM is discussing with them other opportunities for sharing this material.
STFM/AAFP Conference on Practice Improvement
STFM and the AAFP will cosponsor
the 2009Conference on Practice Improvement, November 5-8, in Kansas
City, Mo. Sessions will focus on various aspects of the PCMH, and practical
information on how to implement the components of the PCMH into your
residency or practice. We will also partner with TransforMed to offer
a preconference session at this conference.

Other PCMH Activities
There are other documents on FMDRL that relate to the PCMH, including STFM Messenger pieces, and seven president’s columns by John Rogers, which are available as a set.
STFM has an STFM Group on the PCMH, chaired by John Rogers, MD, MPH, MEd, and Caryl Heaton, DO. This group will serve as a key resource within STFM for furthering the work to establish the PCMH within teaching sites. Join the group.
