Description: This webinar will focus on the “why” of transitioning from fee-for-service to capitation to pay for community health center direct services. Dr. Jones will discuss how fee-for-service reimbursement limits patient access to care and hampers efforts to improve patient self-management and accountability for their own health. He will share examples of how innovators are using lessons learned from other service industries to disrupt the healthcare market. Participants will learn how moving away from the fee-for-service system can preserve revenue streams but also support new models of care, and how payment reform can help to address primary care workforce shortages.
