Mostashari announces his next stop

Farzad Mostashari, MD, ScM, outgoing national coordinator for health IT, will join the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform as a visiting fellow.

In collaboration with Brookings’ Initiative on Value and Innovation in Health Care within the Engelberg Center, Mostashari plans to work on a range of topics related to helping clinicians improve care and patient health through health IT, with a focus on small practice transformation by developing innovative payment models that can better support these types of practices.

His work will include expanding the reach of the Accountable Care Organization Learning Network, a Brookings-Dartmouth project that provides participating organizations the tools necessary to successfully implement accountable care, with a particular emphasis on care transformation involving smaller practices.  In addition, he will work on continuing to expand the use of secure, private and accurate systems of EHR adoption and health information exchange to support better medical practice.
