Medicare Care Management Demonstration Project

Urban Medical has been selected to participate in a new Medicare demonstration project intended to track the care of chronically ill Medicare patients. The goal of the three-year project, which begins this summer, is to support the adoption of health information technology and facilitate the care of chronically ill patients in physician practices.

For the demonstration, Urban Medical will use its new electronic medical record (EMR) system to track and report our treatment of Medicare patients with diabetes, congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease. We hope this will help providers ensure that patients receive all of the treatment recommended for their diagnosis and condition. Providers will also use the EMR to make sure that patients receive the right preventive care measures on time, like mammograms and flu shots.

We are now six months into the new EMR system, and we would like to thank you for your patience and support during the transition period. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our EMR system, please let your provider know. As always, Urban Medical is committed to patient confidentiality and privacy, and will always make sure that your personal medical information is secure and protected.

This demonstration project, as everything we do, will allow us to realize our mission of providing high-quality primary care to all our patients and documenting the effectiveness of our models of care.
