NEJM: Becoming Accountable — Opportunities and Obstacles for ACOs

This just came out in the New England Journal of Medicine today. It is a perspective on Accountable Care Organizations. There is also an interesting video roundtable discussion of ACOs if you have a subscription to NEJM.  

It is our goal that Beacon IPA, as a Clinically Integrated IPA will be a vehicle to become an ACO. 

Prince Named to BCBS Physician Advisory Committee

I am honored to have been named to BCBS's Physician Advisory Committee (PAC). It is a two year commitment with meetings quarterly.

"The mission of the Empire PAC is to enhance the relationships between physicians, their patients, and Empire, by discussing regional or national health care, quality and administrative matters between Empire and physicians" 


I am looking forward to engaging with BCBS in this manner and representing the interests of my physician colleagues as well as Beacon IPA.
