    Disease management would be a snap if all patients simply followed the guidelines and had only a single disease. Moving beyond “compliance,” the Ideal Micro Practices project has achieved terrific results by working on patient-centered collaborative care. Learn how to care for an entire patient population, measure quality for individual clinicians in a non-burdensome manner, and make improvements to practices based on easily obtainable and actionable data.
    After this presentation you will be able to:

• Describe patient-centered collaborative care and its impact on important clinical outcomes.
• Discuss new technology and its use in office practices.
• Move beyond the typical limitations of a population of focus.
