Primary care is under unprecedented pressure—yet it remains the cornerstone of a high performing, equitable healthcare system. What does it take for primary care to thrive today and into the future?
NCQA’s Advanced Primary Care Pilot Program was designed to help answer that question—and now, we’re sharing what we’ve learned. Join us for an engaging webinar that brings the real world insights, innovations and challenges from the Advanced Primary Care Pilot to life.
During this session, you’ll hear directly from pilot participants as they share candid stories from the field—what worked, what didn’t and what they would do differently. NCQA leaders will highlight cross cutting themes and high level learnings emerging from the pilot, including how collaboration, clearer expectations and aligned measures can help reduce fragmentation and strengthen primary care’s foundation. The webinar will also provide a look ahead at how pilot insights are shaping NCQA’s future Advanced Primary Care Program, along with an overview of the public comment period and how your feedback can influence what comes next.
