This article is a summary of the key findings of the FMAHealth Practice Core Team. At the highest level, we find that family medicine practices have compelling intrinsic and extrinsic reasons to evolve to new models of care delivery. We have demonstrated that payment transformation is imperative to successful practice transformation and that comprehensive payment models that include attention to physician work within the social determinants of health and require fewer administrative burdens will be key to achieving the quadruple aim. To bridge payment reform and practice transformation will require better and fewer measures of physician effectiveness in order to allow the physician-patient dyad to thrive in these new models. Achieving these goals will require a sustained national effort involving not only the many family medicine membership organizations, but their collaborative work with others in the health care transformation industry who may not have been our traditional partners. Educational initiatives must be robust, available to all family physicians regardless of professional organization membership, and focused on meeting physicians and physician practice managers where they are with the goal of moving them toward a state of more advanced care delivery. This article outlines the work done by the FMAHealth Practice Team that supports the above assertions.
