Duke-Margolis And Morgan Health Advocate For Advanced Primary Care

A recent project report released by the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy and JPMorgan Chase’s new health initiative, Morgan Health, presents the case for advanced primary care (APC), arguing that a new vision and approach is desperately needed to increase the effectiveness and address the rising costs of traditional, employer-sponsored healthcare.

Titled “A Pathway for Coordinated, Affordable Employee-Sponsored Primary Care”, the project report is written by authors including Mark McClellan, founding Director of the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy at Duke University, and Dan Mendelson, CEO of Morgan Health at JPMorgan Chase & Co. It references Vera Whole Health and the Morgan Health-Vera Whole Health partnership, as well as providing examples of what’s possible when employers unite with primary care organizations.

The authors assert that such partnerships provide companies with:

• Access to needed capabilities
• Person-centered, answerable payment reforms
• The ability to provide employees with high-quality care at a more affordable price

Webinar on transforming healthcare with ACP

The Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy also released a webinar given by McClellan and Mendelson, moderated by Joanne Kenen, Politico, and including Liz Fowler, The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), and Elizabeth Carpenter, Avalere Health. 

The webinar also refers to Vera’s work in this field and examines topics including:

• Opportunities afforded by APC 
• Ways for employers to lead the charge

The project report and webinar are both excellent examinations of how APC is a key element in offering people-centered healthcare. At Vera Whole Health, we’re excited to be an instrumental part in providing access to this new model. We proudly help employers revolutionize their approach to healthcare, provide richer benefit packages at a lower cost-of-care, increase employee satisfaction, and more.
