As we aim to transform New York’s health care system—improving the accessibility, quality, and equity of care while controlling costs—a top priority is expanding and strengthening primary care. But gaps in data and a lack of centralized information about primary care create challenges for researchers and policymakers alike.
Please join NYHealth and Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC) for a discussion highlighting how data can be used to drive progress toward a primary care-centric health system. This event will include a release of PCDC’s New York State Primary Care Scorecard, a first-of-its-kind resource on the state of primary care in New York, presenting data on primary care access, utilization, and outcomes around the State. It will also feature a panel of speakers who will discuss the findings, describe how they reflect patients’ and health care providers’ experiences on the ground, and outline how these data can spur action. The webinar will feature a short discussion followed by audience Q&A.
Speakers:
- Anna Popinchalk, Director of Research & Evaluation, Primary Care Development Corporation
- Kimberleigh Smith, Senior Director for Community Health Planning and Policy, Callen-Lorde
- Natalya Martins, Vice President of Programs, Massachusetts Health Quality Partners
This event will be the first in a two-part series. The second session, focused on policy solutions to expand access to high-quality primary care for all New Yorkers, will be a webinar held on Thursday, May 9, at 12:00 p.m. Be sure to sign up for NYHealth’s Primary Care updates to receive registration information.
