Dr. Thomas Spain, primary care physician and Director of Practice Transformation at the Midsouth PTN, and Kirkland Ahern-Jones, Director of Operations for the Midsouth PTN, take the opportunity to look back at the Best Practices podcast series as TCPi comes to a close.

The Best Practices podcast was inspired by a vision to create an active, living legacy of the work that has been done over the last years by 4,500 clinicians in over 100 practices across the midsouth. The podcast series aims to look more deeply at the work practices have done in moving through the phases of transformation as part of the seven aims of TCPI. The overarching project was to aid practices in preparing for APMs (alternative payment models), and this living legacy has been created with the aim of inspiring other practices to participate, succeed, and thrive in the APM space.

The Best Practices podcast series focuses on high impact change. We interviewed practice leaders as well as subject matter experts to outline some of the best quality improvement practices in the TCPI toolkit. The Best Practices podcast tells the best stories about the best work done by the best practices. We hope you will join us for the entire series on our YouTube channel.
