Measuring Advanced Primary Care in California: Pilot Results and the Path Forward

The Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH)’s California Quality Collaborative (CQC) hosted this webinar to explore the next step in California’s journey to scale high-quality, efficient and patient-centered primary care, also known as Advanced Primary Care.

CQC and Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA) have partnered with health plans and purchasers to pilot their Advanced Primary Care Measure Set at the practice level in California. The goal of the pilot was to assess comprehensive performance across a key set of outcomes-focused measures to understand variation and aid decision-making for system support.
