We’re adapting our work environment to continue our mission.

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, many healthcare organizations are opting to transition to a virtual environment. The Center has also made the transition to virtual operations, and updated our “Work With Us” Opportunities to follow suit.

  • The Center has successfully worked virtually with our Fellow, working alongside universities, as well as government agencies, focusing on an array of topics, from burnout rates to combating COVID-19.
  • We have also effectively worked virtually with our Visiting Senior Scholars.
  • The Center is currently beginning the process of working with our Summer Visiting Scholar, virtually engaging in original research projects as well as working on global initiatives in the fight against COVID-19

COVID-19 doesn’t change our work

– it reinforces the reason for our work.

PRIME Registry continues to support practices in reducing quality reporting burden, providing MIPS submission assistance and population health tools for providers.

PHATE provides social determinant data, assisting with assessing high risk areas in patient communities.

We’re continuing the work on Measures that Matter to reduce provider burden, creating claims measures and using point of care data, and measuring what patients and clinicians value and consider responsible for high value primary care (Accessibility, Comprehensiveness, Continuity, Integration, Coordination, Relationship, Advocacy, Family Context, Community Context, Health Promotion, and Goal-Oriented Care).
