ACO Watch: A Mid Week Review on ACOs, IPAs and HIT

On the Wednesday June 30th broadcast I'll chat with two industry veterans from the the Health IT and alternative practice market, i.e., IPA world, Nate Di Niro aka #openaffairs & @unclenate and Tony McCormick aka @tonyMI2, respectively. With the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act there are multiple provisons which advance the innovation agenda. One little know provision opens the door to the 'direct practice', membership, or retainer medicine world as 'medical homes' to demonstrate eligibility to be listed on health insurance exchanges as qualified health plans. Much is happening in this non traditional world. Examples include: Qliance, CarePractice, OneMedical and MedLion, and now we at the 'Patient/Physician Cooperative' (PPC) to the managed  healthcare acronym soup. On this braodcast we'll get insight into both the IT issues and opportunities  for indpendent physicians whether tethered to an IPA or not, as well as what's happening of interest to Indepdent Practice Associations. Join us!
