How do you define ambulatory care providers? Is the public reporting requirement for public reports at the physician-specific level?
The call for proposals notes that “[t]he applicant must commit to achieving public reporting of ambulatory care performance information by more than 50 percent of the community’s primary care providers within the first three years of an actual Aligning Forces grant.” It does not refer to ambulatory care providers, per se. The program generally views primary care providers to be family physicians, internists and pediatricians. A community could, however, make the case for expanding that definition if appropriate. The program does not require reporting at the individual physician level. At this time, most Aligning Forces communities who have reporting are doing that reporting at the group level.
