The Council of Accountable Physician Practices (CAPP), a coalition of leading integrated multi-specialty medical groups and health systems across the U.S., will hold its second annual healthcare event, Better Together Health 2016: Patient Expectations and The Accountability Gap,” at 12:30pm EDT on June 15th in Washington, D.C. at the Center for Total Health.

CAPP and the Bipartisan Policy Center invite you to hear patients and doctors tell their stories of what patient-centered care really looks like: You can register to watch the webcast of this healthcare event here. Once registered, you will be emailed a link on the morning of 6/15 in order to access the webcast.

This national event will bring together some of the top healthcare leaders and executives nationwide to discuss the accountability gap in healthcare from patient and provider perspectives.

The transformation of American healthcare means more than reducing costs and improving quality scores. Healthcare systems have to focus on closing the gap between what patients actually want and what they are experiencing, especially for those with chronic illness. How can we bring true accountability to healthcare in the United States?

  • HOST
  • Robert Pearl, MD, Chair, Council of Accountable Physician Practices; Executive Director and CEO, The Permanente Medical Group; President and CEO, Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group

  • OPENING REMARKS
    Tim Gronniger,Deputy Chief of Staff, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service
