Need help getting ready for value-based payment models?

One way we help our provider clients to transform their practices is by helping them prepare for value-based payment models. We are proud to have been selected to guide practices by the New York State Practice Transformation Network (NYSPTN). This is a statewide learning network designed to coach, mentor, and assist clinicians in developing core competencies necessary to transform their practices and thrive in an emerging healthcare environment that emphasizes value of care.

The NYSPTN embraces and supports the “quadruple aim” of better care, better health, lower costs, and greater provider satisfaction.

The program is funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to help practices develop quality improvement strategies, and navigate the complex healthcare environment and multiple transformation-related initiatives currently underway.
