SUMMARY:Better Together Health: Patient Expectations and the Accountability Gap
DESCRIPTION:The Council of Accountable Physician Practices (CAPP) and the Bipartisan Policy Center will hold a live-streaming press conference on June 15\, announcing the 2016 Nielsen Survey results outlining patient experiences with the health care system. \nFrom the organizers: \n\n\nThe American healthcare delivery system is changing in response to health reform efforts to try to improve care quality and reduce costs.  Many Americans have heard the term “accountable” care\, but how well is “accountable care” actually doing in the U.S. today? Are patients actually receiving accountable/coordinated care? How do physicians feel about the state of accountable care in this country? \n\n\nThe Nielsen survey results include valuable insight gathered from polling 5\,000 Americans about their experiences with accountable care. \n\n\nVisit http://bettertogetherhealth.org/ for more information. \nFor a summary of last year’s Nielsen survey result findings in partnership with CAPP\, go here:  Majority of Americans don’t use digital technology to access doctors.
