Sharing Knowledge on Patient-Centered Medical Homes,
Behavioral Health and Dental Policy.
June 21, 2013 09:09 AM Eastern Daylight Time
WORCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Several health policy experts from UMass Medical School will present
at AcademyHealth’s annual research meeting, taking place in Baltimore, June 23
- 25.
Bruce Barton, PhD, research professor in the Medical
School’s Quantitative Health Sciences department, and team leader for research
methods at the School’s Commonwealth Medicine division, Center for Health
Policy and Research, will deliver a podium presentation on interim results from
the Massachusetts Patient-Centered Medical Home Initiative.
Dr. Barton’s podium presentation will take place on Tuesday,
June 25, 11:30 a.m., at the Baltimore Convention Center, room 317.
A multi-disciplinary team from UMass Medical School was
instrumental in helping implement and evaluate the Massachusetts
patient-centered medical home demonstration project, an initiative that
involves 45 primary care practices and multiple payers. Dr. Barton will present
findings from a study that analyzed the extent to which practices adopted
characteristics central to medical homes, including increased access to care
and information, improved care coordination among practice team members and
delivery of care that is considered “patient-centered” – a model that supports
the involvement of patients and families in all care decisions. Robin Clark,
PhD, Judith Steinberg, MD, and Ann Lawthers, ScD, co-authored the study with
Dr. Barton.
UMass Medical School, Commonwealth Medicine staff will also
be making several pre-conference presentations on behavioral health and state
health policy topics to colleagues from around the country, as well as
presenting posters during the conference. Below is a complete schedule of
presentation and poster sessions.
