Backed by funding from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), our goals are to accomplish the following outcomes together by 2019:
- To provide better care to patients, at a lower cost, for better health outcomes for 10 million patients across Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois
- To partner with 11,500 providers to transform their practice in preparation for upcoming health care mandates and share their learnings
- To empower clinicians by delivering personalized resources tailored to each practice’s needs and offering the best customer service possible
We are thrilled to share that GLPTN is the third largest partnership in the United States designed to transform our healthcare system, and we are grateful for CMS’ financial and technical support.
