Editor's Notes
When you receive your second feedback report July 2018, you can compare your progress and understand where you can improve.
• Creating improvement action plans can position your practice to get the maximum payments for the high-value care you give to patients.
• Focus attention on high risk patients and strategize how your practice can deliver care more effectively to these patients.
