“Right now, there is significant frag- mentation in the market. And if physi- cians had a better way to understand how patients are moving throughout the health care system, and if technol- ogy can be infused in that type of en- vironment, we think that the shift to an outcomes-based or performance- based model can happen more effi- ciently and effectively,” Mr. Quirk said.
“We understand there is a significant learning curve, especially for smaller independent physician offices. When we found out that TMA was partner- ing with UT Dallas, we wanted to step in and provide resources to be able to help facilitate that educational pro- cess. We commend TMA for taking the initiative and leading in providing the medical community with a core curriculum that will help all physi- cians gain a fundamental understand- ing of how care is going to be deliv- ered in the future.” From United’s perspective, those
delivery models don’t stop at ACOs but run the gamut from incentive pay- ments for primary care improvements to more sophisticated risk-sharing and capitation arrangements. “Wherever physicians feel comfort-
able, we want to support them across that continuum,” Mr. Quirk said. As Dr. Nguyen-Trong finishes her
fellowship, she’s not quite sure where on the spectrum she will land. Wherever that is, she says the ex-
posure to new business models, prac- tice analysis tools, and a goal-setting mindset leave her well-positioned at a critical juncture in her career. “It helps me be a stronger patient advo- cate knowing I have the ability to in- stitute changes in my own organiza- tion to allow me to deliver better care to my patients.” n
