This document summarizes a presentation given at the NACHC Conference FOM/IT on October 28, 2015 about the high-performing Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) of the future. It discusses major trends like rising healthcare costs, the shift to value-based care, and Medicaid reform that are drawing FQHCs into the changing healthcare economy. It provides examples of FQHCs partnering with Accountable Care Organizations and payers. The presentation argues that FQHCs should embrace transparency, pursue value-based payment opportunities, and actively manage patient populations to succeed in this new environment while continuing their mission.
