Toyota has developed a practical application of a human-centric production system that is deeply rooted in management philosophies and workplace culture. This philosophy, which they’ve dubbed the Toyota Production System (TPS), is built off of Lean concepts and elimination of waste. Sound familiar? In recent years, the “buzzwords” and strategies of Lean have trickled their way into the healthcare system as a way to improve delivery of care. Although different industries, we can learn a lot from Toyota about how Lean can help the healthcare system move toward ideal patient care.
The new standards for attestation have been in effect for one month now and many of you have begun working on your application. Join us on February 14th (Oregon's Birthday) with your questions and hear from other practices!

While integrating behavioral health care with primary care is now widely considered an effective strategy for improving outcomes for the many millions of Americans with mental or behavioral health conditions, uptake of behavioral health integration has remained limited, largely because it has not been paid for separately. On January 1, 2017, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will begin paying clinicians separately for the BHI services they provide to Medicare beneficiaries.

If you are a Medicare provider, you may be aware of the new MACRA program, as it was called when legislated, and now known as the Quality Payment Program (QPP). The QPP repeals the Sustainable Growth Rate formula and in its place establishes two tracks for providers to choose from: the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) or the Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs).
The Institute is proud to announce the first round of the Clinician Academy. The Clinician Academy is a networking and training program for clinicians interested in advancing their role as a community advocate and leader.
