Purva Rawal works under Liz at CMMI, and will be speaking to that coalition. So, we have our joint session with Liz Fowler, and then the coalitions are going to split up and meet separately, and the ACO MSSP Coalition will meet separately, as will the ACO Reach Coalition. The entity within CMS that focuses on quality and Dr. And Lee Fleischer, M.D., the head of the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality. And before that, we have a lunch for our Clinical Quality Leadership Forum, our physicians who have been extremely highly focused on quality in their organizations. That could bring new members into APG, to join our experienced members.Īnd we have a joint meeting on October 31 of those two coalitions, and Liz Fowler will be addressing both of those. We’ve had our ACO Reach Coalition and we had something called the Risk Evolution Task Force, which we’ve renamed our ACO MSSP Coalition, focused on MSSP, particularly in light of the fact that, in the most recent physician fee schedule announcement, CMS indicated they’re going to make a lot of changes in the MSSP, to keep that program alive and keep the number of entrants a robust number but they’ve also announced that they’ll create advanced incentive payments, to lure smaller practices into MSSP and they also intend to inject some equity features into the MSSP. And also, transitions underway for APG.įor sometime within APG, we’ve had groups oriented around particular aspects of payment and delivery reform. And we’ve just had several major acquisition announcements in the last few months, with new and new-ish players coming into healthcare. We’re calling this “Transitions 2022,” to capture the fact that we’re in a bunch of transitions, including with regard to the upcoming elections, at the national and state levels, as well as the ongoing transition to value and transitions in terms of the delivery system, as well as who’s who and who’s doing what in healthcare. We do a spring conference in San Diego and a fall conference in DC.
