Ohio's PCPCC

The Ohio Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (OPCPCC) is a coalition of primary care providers, insurers, employers, consumer advocates, government officials and public health professionals. They are joining together to create a more effective and efficient model of health care delivery in Ohio. That model of care is the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH).

The OPCPCC is coordinating statewide efforts to implement best practices to advance patient-centered primary care. By providing a forum for health care stakeholders to communicate freely and work together, OPCPCC strives to achieve the following outcomes:

1. Enhanced communication between providers, purchasers, and consumers
2. Identification and dissemination of best practices
3. Increased number of engaged patients, providers, employers & insurers (specific targets & dates to be set)
4. Better care, better health, better satisfaction, better value
5. Become a national leader in terms of collaborative process and sustainable model

Topics of focus for the Ohio PCPCC include:

• Care delivery: care coordination, integrating behavioral and mental health, patient education & engagement, team training, enhanced access, practice transformation and workforce development
• Financing: payment strategies, purchasing strategies
• Technology issues: HIT optimization, usability, meaningful use, HIE preparation
• Quality metrics and reporting
