If you are looking for some great examples of a high-performing patient-centered medical home implementation, the University of Michigan Health System Department of Family Medicine has published a few slide shows and articles on their implementation and their outcomes to-date.  I mentioned one of these pieces in a prior blog post, but we get so many requests for examples I wanted to share it again, along with a new piece.  Lots of great detail in both of them.

We've now talked to many of the providers for whom, on their behalf, we submitted quality data to PQRI (via Cielo Clinic). All of the providers we have spoken with have received their reimbursement! Reimbursements have ranged from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars, but since it is a formula on allowed charges, of course the amounts will vary. We've also received comments from people that have previously done the very-manual claims submission process for PQRI that registry submission is the "only way to go". Remember, just by using our product in the normal course of care delivery, we are taking care of capturing the data needed for reporting and, at the appropriate time, doing the data uploads. That's pretty simple and that's how it should be. Dave Morin CEO and Co-Founder Cielo MedSolutions
