Given the shift from volume- to value-based health care, the American Academy of Family Physicians has launched new content on quality measures (QM) and updated medical home content on AAFP.org.
New QM content includes foundational information on QM, such as types, components, development, endorsement, benchmarking, and links to resources. Also included is an explanation of the AAFP’s role in measure development and endorsement. Members interested in getting involved with QM initiatives and representing the interests of family medicine can now complete and submit an expression of interest form, available on the site.
The updated medical home content helps practice teams understand and implement the five functions of the medical home. With the ever-evolving nature of the medical home, resources and information will be added over time to keep you members informed.
