Description

This course will review the economics of the ACA,  the effect of PCMH on patient’s access to your practice, and then the “what to do” in response.  A central feature of this health care reform is the formation of Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) and Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH).  It is the PCMH that will dramatically change the market for health care services.  This course begins with economics.  Market behavior depends on supply and demand.  While the health care policy will significantly alter supply and demand of medical services, PCMHs will change how those services are accessed by the public.    The ACA and PCMH will affect every physician in every specialty in every setting.  When the market shifts, it occurs quickly, and those unprepared are left behind.
