Fowler was joined by Meena Seshamani, MD, PhD, Deputy Administrator and Director of the Center for Medicare, Mandy Cohen, MD, Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, and moderator, Mark McClellan, MD, PhD, Robert J. Margolis Professor of Business, Medicine, and Policy, and founding Director of the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy at Duke University. Fowler said she wants it to be easier for health care organizations to partner with CMMI to create new models of care, something the agency has been criticized for in the past. Both Fowler and Seshamani were optimistic on the federal government’s commitment to using these value-based care models to advance primary care, address social drivers of health, lower costs, and create sustainable models.
