Join experts from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) as they walk through the development of the Primary Care Information Blueprint—a comprehensive framework designed to help primary care teams succeed under value-based payment models. Their insights are grounded in physician interviews and input from a national advisory group of leaders across the public and private sectors. This session will highlight the critical role of regional data entities like Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and Health Data Utilities (HDUs), as trusted intermediaries whose impact enables meaningful data sharing and decision-making across organizations.

Dr. Jennifer Woodward, a family medicine physician and clinical informaticist at the University of Kansas Medical Center, will share her experience partnering with local payers and stakeholders to improve care quality and measurement through the Lewis & Clark Information Exchange. Joining her is Daniel Chavez, SCHIO Executive Director, who will present real-world lessons and forward-thinking strategies for advancing value-based primary care from the perspective of one of the oldest and most advanced multi-stakeholder health information exchanges in the country.
