Clinical questions to be addressed:
1. Why do more than 100 private payers and Medicare think such a major change in the funding of health care is needed?
2. How are performance measures chosen, why are they useful, what costs are involved, and what can internists expect?
3. Experts from CMS, the private sector, and ACP will answer your questions and help you to prepare for the coming changes that will impact your practice.
