AJMC® in the Press, September 21, 2018

The American Journal of Managed Care^® (AJMC^®) announced Andrew Pecora, MD, FACP, CPE, as the program moderator and chairman of its latest regional Institute for Value-Based Medicine meeting on future perspectives on oncology value-based care. The announcement was picked up by Insurance News Net and NJ Biz.

Financial media outlet Benzinga’s article on high-touch care improving health outcomes included a study published in the September issue of AJMC^®, “High-Touch Care Leads to Better Outcomes and Lower Costs in a Senior Population.” The study evaluated the impact of a high-touch primary care model among a Medicare Advantage population in comparison with a standard practice—based model.

A blog post from the Association of Health Care Journalists centered around an AJMC^® contributor article on maternity care. The article, “A Blueprint for Building Better Maternity Care Payment Systems,” covers a blueprint that lays out ideas for broad health system changes to incentivize higher-value maternity care in the United States.
