• Speaker Presentation:  “Pennsylvania Chronic Care Initiative”   - Phil Magistro, Deputy Director, Program Implementation, PA Governor’s Office of Healthcare Reform

The Chronic Care Commission created by PA Governor Rendell crafted a strategic plan that calls for implementing the chronic care model developed by Dr Ed Wagner and the MaxColl Institute in all primary care practices across the Commonwealth.  This initiative is being implemented in stages throughout all regions of the state.  The efforts are being led by the Governor’s Office of Health Care Reform and involve strong collaboration among providers, payers and professional associations.  The initiative incorporates the PCMH standards as a validation tool that practices are transforming their care delivery to effectively manage chronically ill patients.  There are seven regional learning collaboratives underway across the Commonwealth.  Phil will speak to us about the HIT implementation challenges associated with this large statewide project.
