AMA to educate doctors on value-based care models
The American Medical Association (AMA) announced a series of online resources for physicians choosing new payment models that emphasize value-based care.
The May 2 statement outlines eight education modules that promote prevention, wellness and coordinated care. The new resources are part of the AMA’s Steps Forward program, which includes interactive tools to boost delivery of quality-based care.
“With physicians facing critical decisions about new payment models, the AMA is rolling out tools to help practices of all sizes succeed and support better health outcomes for everyone,” said AMA President Steven J. Stack, MD. “The AMA’s new, comprehensive online resources will help physicians drive successful implementation as insurers introduce new payment models that reward better outcomes and treatment coordination.”
A new module on value-based care is among a variety of physician-developed resources available in the STEPS Forward collection to guide the process of implementing new payment models, including steps toward advancing team-based care, implementing electronic health records and improving care.
