Challenges: • Complexity of task • Focus over time • Maintenance of enthusiasm • Adequate resources (intellectual capital as well as funding)
Expansion Plans: • 20 new practices to come online in April 2011 • More emphasis on up-front baseline data collection regarding quality, practice efficiency, staff & patient satisfaction • Will augment external transformation input (TransforMED) with onsite practice coaches
