We know that primary health care care is one of the only parts of the health system in which investments routinely and predictably result in improved equity for all people, especially the most vulnerable.
But under fee-for-service payment, the value of clinical work = time and intensity. This leaves behind
- Patient relationships
- Team-based care
- Care coordination
- Time for diagnosis
These are precisely the things that make #PrimaryCare so powerful. In his presentation, Asaf Bitton discussed strategies for aligning payment with the value #PrimaryCare provides.
Happening now at #PrimaryCare24: Dr. Asaf Britton of Ariadne Labs is giving a deep dive into the history of the RBRVS, and where we go from here to create the best relationships with patients and communities. He identified 5 challenges:
1. Potential for regulatory capture
2. Incomplete transparency
3. Inadequate payment to primary care physicians
4. Payment challenges for interprofessional teams
5. Insufficient funds to primary care

I am enjoying the habit of boosting examples of leadership in action. Perhaps I should use it as a feature in the upcoming newsletter- Words can influence minds but actions build the future. Cheers to a brighter future in cancer care.
Breaking News! Great news for Irvine & Santa Ana CA residents and oncology professionals. A new facility is coming to the southern CA region, bringing care options closer to home. Residents, healthcare leaders, and market stats all suggest that this is exactly what the area needs.
For those living in the area, this means better options for care nearer to you, without having to drive over an hour for the type of doctor you need. Bringing top-notch care options closer to residents is critical to access and changes how many will experience treatment in the area. It means less cost to patients who travel out of town and pay for overnight stays. It means actually getting the care you deserve for those who are not able to overcome geographical and financial barriers to care in their region.
For those working in rad-onc or planning to, and are from the area, you are getting a brand new facility as an option for your career. You can reconsider having to move away from your relatives to get the best job in your field. A trusted name and the best minds in the field are now in your backyard. This will drive oncology professionals to the region for better cost of living, housing, and research opportunities.
Thank you to everyone involved in bringing care options closer to the southern CA region in Irvine. Let's celebrate better options for care and career opportunities for oncology workers. #Irvine#SantaAna#healthcare#oncology#careeropportunities#newfacility#healthcaretechnicalstaffing
System Chief Executive - City of Hope Medical Foundation & National Physician Organization
Today, leaders from across the City of Hope system came together to launch the activation of our new and upcoming Irvine Hospital. It was a historic day as we plan for our second academic hospital in Southern California.
Toward the end of the session leaders Annette Walker, Wendy Austin, Annette Morgan, M.B.A., Laura Grant, Dr. Ed Kim and I - took questions from the audience. At the start of the Q&A, there was silence for almost a minute as scores of leaders took their phones out and began taking pictures of the panel. Here is the moment Ed and I realized the audience was actually scanning the bar code above our heads in order to submit their questions - not taking a picture. Our influencer moment quickly evaporated!
Thank you to all our leaders who participated. This will be an exceptional journey as we open a world class hospital in Irvine. Your talent, compassion and focus will lead to a place of healing like no other.
