Preconference III: Ambition for Excellence: Small Physician Groups Aim High
Sponsored by the California Association of Physician Groups

Much of the excitement for and early progress towards ACOs has come from large, integrated healthcare organizations. However, if reform is to reach all corners of America, we will need smaller organizations with lean resources to step up to the challenge of accountable care. California offers great optimism on this front. In this session we will hear from four smaller IPA's and medical groups who compete head to head with “the big guys.” Speakers will be posted online at www.pfpsummit.com in mid-January.
