What motivated this survey on understanding memory? Our goal in conducting the study was to supplement the research we had done for our book, The Invisible Gorilla. The book focuses on everyday illusions, cases in which people’s intuitive beliefs about how the mind works are faulty. In writing the book, we realized that nobody had ever conducted a national survey to measure how pervasive those beliefs are. Our PLoS One paper reports the results from a subset of the items in the survey,...

Wisconsin Protesters: Can You Spare Some Solidarity? WPA poster circa 1930s Sorry, Wisconsin protesters. I want to root for unions. But I can’t. That’s because they’re only for the working man and woman. They don’t seem to care about the unemployed and the legions of Americans forced into part-time work. As depicted in the British comedy “I’m All Right Jack” — I’m all right, and to hell with everyone else — unions are narrowly focused on union workers. That’s the hidden reason sympathy has declined. A lot has happened to the working man and woman in the last 40 years, and none of it good. Unions have not been paying attention… Read the rest on Politics Daily. Wisconsin Protesters: Can...

The addition of Medicare as payer to some of these state initiatives may be the critical tipping point that results in widespread primary care delivery system reform in states by involving more practices, payers and patients.

In that post I touched briefly on the potential for MAPCI to create effective networks at multiple levels — contracting networks, health IT networks, social and collaborative care networks.  I’d like to expand a bit today… So, why is Medicare’s participation in MAPCI  and other regional collaboratives such a big deal? Here’s my hypothesis: Medicare’s non-participation (to-date) in regional payer/provider collaboratives has been a rate... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3003871 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:53:23 +0100 3003871 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2984882&cid=t_209305_113_f&fid=35744&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fe-CareManagement%2F%7E3%2F2NyU0BDII1g%2F Do you remember the scene in the movie Animal House where Bluto Blutarski laments “…seven years of college education down the drain?” Why aren’t primary care physicians expressing similar laments about  the shelving of the MMHD (Medicare Medical Home Demonstration) in favor of the MAPCI (Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care Initiative).

Specifically, section 1302 of House Bill 3200 contains a provision to repeal this demonstration and replace it with an independent practitioner-based medical home pilot described further in the bill. In addition, the House bill includes a second medical home pilot to evaluate community-based medical home models... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2931085 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:59:21 +0100 2931085 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2761973&cid=t_209305_113_f&fid=35744&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fe-CareManagement%2F%7E3%2FcUFc7zNwVKs%2F In Part I of my guest post on The Collaborative Forum blog, I wrote that the Medicare Medical Home Demo is in BIG Trouble. Here’s a recap: Political reality dictates that the MMHD must save costs. As currently structured, the MMHD cannot achieve cost savings In any given year, only a small percentage of patients account for the vast majority of costs Lessons from previous Medicare disease/care management demonstrations has shown that effective care coordination interventions must be targeted at this population Medicare has structured the MMHD so that any patient with one or more chronic condition is eligible; this includes 86% of all Medicare patients. Physicians will be paid risk-adjusted care coordination fees for this entire population — the 86% of patients with one or more chron... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2761973 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:39:20 +0100 2761973 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2670911&cid=t_209305_113_f&fid=35744&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fe-CareManagement%2F%7E3%2FvIdWeuqPmyk%2F Between the time the MMHD was authorized in 2006 and now, we’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t work in Medicare care coordination programs. The MMHD is between a rock and a hard place — conflicted by two “must achieve” objectives that are diametrically opposed: As a political matter, the MMHD must save money As currently structured, the MMHD cannot save money Please read my guest post The Medicare Medical Home Demonstration (MMHD): Between a Rock and a Hard Place over at Pharos Innovations new blog: The Collaborative Forum.

The intent of the meeting was for the group displaying their templates to offer the templates to the other users for free (that’s right, free!). The demonstration ended and the WebEx was opened up for Q&A. What happened next was an something I’ve seen far too often. The first person to speak up, a physician, went on a long, self-indulgent monologue explaining what he would like to see added. The next person to speak up, who sounded like an IT guy, shared what his group had done that was similar, so he had no need for the templates. I was flabbergasted. I mean, these templates were being offered for free! What ever h...

I’ll elaborate on these cries in the second posting of this series, but if you can’t wait, read here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Welcome to a series of three blog postings discussing the PCMH, care management fees, and the RUC report.  I can’t claim to smooth the uproar, but I hope to frame the issues so that they can be understood and discussed constructively. The series will address numerous questions. This first post: What is the PCMH care management fee? Why is the PCMH care management fee important? Why are people confused?
