specialty care

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid published a blog highlighting the progress of the CMS Innovation Center’s Specialty Care Strategy. It addresses the entirety of a person’s care journey and the incentives required to reach and connect primary care and specialty providers at each step of the way. This includes delivering data for more transparency in specialist performance, refocusing specialty care on the person’s experience and outcomes, and facilitating specialty care partnerships with primary care-based Accountable Care Organizations as part of a move to more value-based care. CMS is committed to supporting both primary and specialty care practices in delivering coordinated and state-of-the-art care.
