      This session will offer participants an in-depth understanding of the group visits model of care delivery for all providers of medicalcare in a health care system—a model of care specifically designed to improve quality, access, productivity, and outcomes.
      After this presentation you will be able to:

• Design, develop, and implement a successful group visit program that best meets your organization’s most pressing needs.
• Secure effective administrative support as well as physician, staff, and patient “buy-in” to your new group visit program.
• Identify how group visits can be used to improve both practice management and chronic disease management.
