Environmental Scan on Care Coordination in the Context of Alternative Payment Models (APMs) and Physician-Focused Payment Models (PFPMs)

This environmental scan was prepared at the request of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) as background information to assist the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) in preparing for a theme-based discussion on the role care coordination can play in optimizing health care delivery and value-based transformation. The discussion will consider care coordination in the context of Alternative Payment Models (APMs) and physician-focused payment models (PFPMs).ⁱ The environmental scan is based on information that was publicly available relating to this topic in the literature and from discussions with previous PTAC proposal submitters and subject matter experts, current as of the time that the analysis was completed.
