End Date: July 17, 2025

Description:
1. Addressing Mental Health in Primary Care Using the Collaborative Care Model
Integrating behavioral health care and general medical services has been shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. After decades of research, the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) has been shown as the most effective and efficient model for delivering integrated care. CoCM introduces two new roles, a Psychiatric Consultant (PC) and a Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM), as well as a new tool, the Systematic Case Review Tool, to the care team for measurement-guided care. After reviewing the essential elements of CoCM (Patient-Centered Team Care, Population-Based Care, Measurement-Based Treatment to Target, Evidence-Based Care, and Accountable Care) this session will identify patients who can be appropriately treated using CoCM and discuss the roles of each team member.

2. Answers to Women's Common Concerns of Desire, Arousal and Orgasm
Our presentation will address female sexual dysfunction, focusing on low desire. We’ll look at how to provide a thorough sexual interview, evaluate pain and emotional connection, and review medications that may cause low desire. We will compare Discordant Desire to Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. We will consider current FDA-approved treatments for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and review initial diagnosis and treatment options for arousal and orgasmic dysfunction.

3. Connected Care: Enhancing Patient Health and Practice Prosperity through Remote Patient Monitoring
From connected care to innovative strategies, this session will provide actionable insights and practical approaches for family physicians to leverage remote patient monitoring (RPM) effectively. During this session, we will explore the core principles and technologies that underpin remote patient monitoring. We will review the current RPM models, technology, and medically indicated conditions. We will then discuss how the strategic integration of technology can enhance patient outcomes while driving revenue for family physicians. Finally, we review the practice  management aspects of integrating RPM, including administrative needs, billing, and reimbursement.

4. Cross-Cultural Medicine: Healthcare for Native Americans in Michigan
Native American communities, including those in urban and tribe areas of Michigan, have historically been marginalized and underserved in terms of medical care. During this presentation, we will provide an overview of the health status of these communities and discuss ways that family medicine physicians can address these disparities in a unique and integrated manner. One such approach is cross-cultural medicine. We will also explore how Family Medicine Physicians can make their practices more inclusive and respectful of the cultural and spiritual beliefs of their Native American patients.

5. Evolution of Primary HPV Screening for Cervical Cancer
The cervical cancer screening of today is not your mother's test! Because of the natural history of HPV and the development of biomarkers, a superior screening test is now available for the averaged-risk, asymptomatic woman. During this session we will look at the progression of testing and identify the risk-based strategies developed to manage abnormal results.

6. Exploring Population Health Trends, Innovative Care Models, and Value-Based Payments
Participants will learn about emerging trends in population health, new models of care, and value-based payment models. We will define and discuss the concept of value, as the relationship between cost AND outcome.

7. Hypertension: Improving Patient Care through Performance Improvement
Health plans and regulators have developed hypertension quality measures to evaluate the evidence-based quality of care provided to patients by healthcare professionals. Payors are using performance data to determine payments in incentive programs and alternative payment models. However, actual care often has wide variances, exceeding or falling short of targeted goals. This session will help attendees improve hypertension patient care. It will cover quality and performance tools and guide attendees through planning a PDSA cycle for their practices. After a review of their performance data, they will be able to submit their outcomes and learnings to ABFM as a performance improvement project for maintenance of certification credit, which will also carry AAFP PI-CME credit. More importantly, they will have gained experience in performance improvement which may be continued in other areas of practice and/or with different interventions to improve the care of their patients.

8. Legalized Marijuana: How to Navigate Challenges of Increased Use
With the explosion of change in marijuana laws, most of which decriminalize recreational use, family physicians must confront the challenges of increased use of marijuana in their practice populations. Drug and alcohol testing may be a useful tool for physicians, but it comes with inherent risks and limitations that must be recognized. We will discuss drug testing options, medical/legal considerations for physicians, and the recognition of acutely impaired individuals in the office.

9. POCUS in Your Medical Practice: Implementation Strategies and Challenges
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is rapidly expanding in family medicine and has significant implications for education, scholarship, and clinical practice in the United States. With recent updates to ACGME and AAFP requirements for residents to obtain POCUS training, upcoming graduates will seek employment opportunities in
academic and community settings that support the implementation of POCUS in clinical practice. This session will focus on the introduction of five common applications of POCUS to enhance outpatient clinical decision-making and share best practices in billing, acquiring POCUS equipment, standardized training, and credentialing.

10. Practical Approach to Assessing and Treating Human Trafficking Victims
Family physicians are essential care team members with the ability to identify victims of human trafficking, who span all ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Attend this session to develop an understanding of Michigan law, warning signs, and best resources to support both physicians and victims. Plus, gain a practical, straightforward, evidence-based approach to assessing and treating victims of human trafficking that may be integrated into the family medicine practice.

11. The Top 10 Evidence-Based Medicine Updates for 2024
Using recent research findings and medical literature, Dr. Domino will translate the most recent clinical recommendations into high-quality, evidence-based care strategies you can apply in your practice.

12. The Value Proposition for Physician Wellness in Family Medicine
Family medicine can benefit from intentionally addressing physician wellness. In this session, we will examine how physician wellness is critical to providing primary care services to meet the health needs of communities and the nation. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted primary care and family physician practices. The pandemic resulted in increased rates of burnout and has challenged even the most resilient physicians, making it difficult for them to recover from the moral injury and stressors they face both at work and outside of work. Let's discuss how investing in sustainable family medicine (and primary care) strategies can improve physician wellness.

13. Unlocking the Code: How HCC Coding and RAF Scoring affects your Practice’s Bottom Line
Providing great primary care is just one side of the family practice equation; understanding the business of medicine is the other. Attend this session to increase your knowledge of Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding and how it affects Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF) scores. Learn how to code to accurately reflect patients’ overall illness and what you need to chart to justify certain codes. Leave the session with practical steps to coding that will benefit your practice’s bottom line.
