Setting a Firm Foundation:
Mississippi Practices and the Medical Home

April 9 -11, 2010
Eagle Ridge Conference Center
Raymond, MS

By attending this conference, we anticipate the following results:
• Financially sound practice
• Happier staff in your practice
• You will enjoy your practice more

In this Learning Collaborative, we will tackle the specifics of implementation of the various elements of the Patient-Centered Medical Home. This will include addressing “how” the framework of the PCMH enhances what practices are currently doing and provide strategies for practices to move forward in their implementation of the medical home elements and improving their financial management strategies. Patient engagement, measuring staff satisfaction and processes for performance improvement within the practice will be covered.

Bring your team
This conference is designed for physicians, clinical staff, office staff and residents. We encourage you to bring your entire team to gain knowledge and insight to implement PCMH model within your practice.
