Narrative Report As a primary care physician interested in systems improvement, I study primary care delivery system reform as well as approaches to reducing the burden of chronic diseases. In terms of primary care systems research, I work on evaluating the scope and quality improvement possibilities of new primary care delivery models including the patient-centered medical home currently being piloted across the United States. I have had a particular focus on quality measurement in primary care, and a more recent emphasis on implementing and promoting large-scale primary care practice transformation at both the local and national levels. I also study health information technology approaches for improving patient engagement and clinical quality in this setting. In addition, my other focus is the study of low cost interventions to stem the growing tide of chronic non-communicable diseases globally, with a focus on global and domestic tobacco control policies and cessation interventions. I have conducted research on the implementation of global tobacco treaty protocols with a specific focus on the uptake of clinical smoking cessation interventions. I have also worked on microsimulation models of tobacco morbidity and mortality related to tuberculosis and cardiovascular diseases. Locally, I am the core faculty lead for transformation strategy and design in the Harvard Medical School Center for Primary Care. There I lead the Academic Innovation Collaborative, a 19-clinic, $13 million, 2-year effort to transform academic primary care teaching practices affiliated with HMS into patient-centered medical homes. I am responsible the design and implementation of the collaborative’s programs around clinic transformation toward the patient centered medical home model. Nationally, I have served as a senior advisor to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation since 2012, working on the comprehensive primary care initiative, a national demonstration project involving nearly 500 practices in 7 regions across the US engaged in payment-supported primary care practice redesign. My particular area of focus centers on the creation of the practice transformation component of the initiative, including milestones and metrics for achievable success. I have also worked on building the shared savings part of the payment model. I also chaired the clinical quality workgroup of the Commonwealth Fund PCMH Evaluators’ Collaborative, which issued in 2012 a harmonized set of quality and cost metrics for evaluation of PCMH pilots across the United States. Furthermore, I sit on a number of national expert panels convened by various governmental and non-governmental agencies around aspects of primary care and health information technology transformation. I have taught in numerous classes at Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health, and have lectured at the Harvard Business School. Since 2008, I have been a tutor in the required Health Care Policy course. In 2013, I was recognized with a certificate of excellence in tutorial facilitation by Harvard Medical School. I also have lectured extensively and written case studies for the global health effectiveness program taught bi-annually at the Harvard School of Public Health. I supervise residents from the Brigham and Women’s internal medicine primary care program, and mentor general medicine fellows as well on their research. In 2008, I was awarded the James Winshall Award for excellence in ambulatory teaching by the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I practice general internal medicine and serve as the Assistant Medical Director at the Brigham and Women’s Advanced Primary Care Associates, South Huntington, a patient-centered medical home in Jamaica Plain, MA. I enjoy providing care for my diverse panel of patients, and believe that it contributes to informing and improving my research and implementation efforts.
