The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is hosting a series of "Innovation Day" events around the county for health care providers and other stakeholders who are working to transform the United States health care system. The events support sharing of work from the CMS Innovation Center models and provide opportunities for individuals and organizations working on health care innovation to connect with each other, both regionally and nationally.

One such "Innovation Day" will be held May 24 and will focus on Medicare’s Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI). The event will be held at CMS headquarters in Baltimore, BD, but a live video stream of the event will also be available for those unable to attend in person.

Participants will:

• Maximize their understanding of Medicare reimbursement changes;


• Learn to utilize quality measures and use the data for practice improvement;


• Understand how to optimize the health outcomes of your patients; and


• Strategize with like-minded health care professionals on practice efficiencies.

As part of the Affordable Care Act, TCPI is designed to help clinicians achieve large-scale health transformation. The initiative is designed to support more than 140,000 clinician practices over the next four years in sharing, adapting and further developing their comprehensive quality improvement strategies.
