4D Engaging and Empowering the Patient in APMs

Objectives:

In the shift from volume to value-based payment models, there is a significant drive to improve the health of populations through alternative payment models (APMs). To be successful, and to avoid the potential pitfalls of delivering “one-size-fits-all” care, APMs need to incorporate meaningful person and family engagement, reflected in the following actions, with the goal of creating a positive impact on patient care and health:

• Collaborative engagement of consumers, patients, families, and their advocates in the design, implementation, and evaluation of payment and care models
• Proactive communication and partnered decision-making that incorporates the needs, values, and preferences of patients
• Engagement of patients as partners in their own care
• Effective coordination of primary care services with other aspects of care
• Use of technology to support patient and family engagement and activation
