Combined Partner Meeting and Primary Care Growth Committee
On June 8th Starling Physicians had its first all physician meeting held at the Rocky Hill Sheraton. This was a great event getting together the physicians of Starling for the first ever combined meeting. Such a historic event had to be captured on film so a group photo was in order. Dr. Post and Tracy King our Chief Medical Officer and Chief Integration Officer provided an excellent presentation of the changing reimbursement trends in healthcare.
Along the same lines of the presentation at the partners meeting a Starling committee is meeting on July 12th represented by ten physicians along with administration to develop a strategy and recommendation to the board on how to grow primary care. The committee is officially named the Primary Care Growth Strategy Committee. The new healthcare paradigms will mandate that the more a patient lives under the collective care of Starling the greater ability there will be for us to succeed as the market moves from fee for service to value and shared savings to capitated risk.
I will keep everyone updated on the new committee’s important work.
