Program Description
Improving Georgia's primary care infrastructure is the foundation to achieving high-quality, accessible, and efficient health care for all its citizens. To do this, practices must use novel strategies, like the patient-centered medical home model and team-based patient care, to transform the organization and delivery of primary care, particularly for chronic care management. Implementing these changes in rural practices and communities can be a challenge, but is highly necessary considering that rural Georgia counties are lowest in health rankings. This presentation will examine one practice's experience in providing this coordinated care to rural communities.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the presentation, attendees should be able to:
- Identify the readiness of a rural practice to implement changes in healthcare delivery and workflow.
- Describe the process and challenges of implementation and transformation.
- Determine the best practice for chronic care management and reimbursement.
- Summarize the impact on rural communities and their health outcomes.
