DVACO’s Practice Transformation Team works with the staff and providers at primary care and specialty care practices. The Practice Transformation Coaches support these practices transitioning from a fee-for-service reimbursement model to a fee-for-value model.
Our team has experience working across primary care, specialty care and large health systems. They have experience working with several different Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), developing workflows, educating and training practices on healthcare programs, and supporting performance improvement plans.
The goal of the Practice Transformation Team is to provide support to practices by assisting them in developing and improving their workflows and processes to address opportunities to facilitate a more proactive approach to population health management.
