American College of Physicians

Commitment Statement:

The American College of Physicians (ACP), representing 141,000 internal medicine physicians (internists), subspecialists, and medical students, is committed to the implementation of alternative payment models, including the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), the PCMH neighborhood/specialty practice model, and accountable care organizations (ACOs).  ACP has developed numerous tools and resources to help physicians make the transition to these alternative payment and delivery system models, and through its High Value Care initiative and its Center for Patient Partnership in Healthcare, has promoted ways for patients and clinicians to work together as partners to achieve the highest quality, patient-centered health care.
