HealthTeamWorks has been on the
frontlines of primary care transformation
for more than 25 years. The 501(c)(3)
nonprofit exists today to solve complex
health care problems in the pursuit of
health, equity, and resilience. This requires
increasing successful Alternative Payment
Model (APM) participation, fostering
resilience in primary care, and bridging
clinical, public health, and communities.
HealthTeamWorks' pronounced footprint
in primary care transformation was most
recently evidenced in the Independent
Evaluation of Comprehensive Primary
Care Plus (CPC+) Fourth Annual Report.
HealthTeamWorks served as faculty on
the CPC+ National Learning Network
and facilitators in two Regional Learning
Networks.
CPC+ was the largest, most ambitious
primary care delivery and payment
reform model tested in the United States.
Launched in 2017 by the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the
five-year program explored the hypothesis
that practices could realize primary care
delivery transformation by coalescing
multipayer payment reform, actionable
data, health IT support, and robust
learning supports.
CPC+ included two primary care practice
tracks with incrementally advanced
care delivery requirements and payment
options to meet the diverse needs of
primary care practices in the United
States. Through a unique public-private
partnership with 61 aligned payers in 18
regions, the CPC+ payment redesign
gave practices the additional financial
resources and flexibility needed to make
investments to improve quality of care
and reduce the number of unnecessary
services their patients received.
