Webinar: Rethinking the Role of Medical Assistants on the Primary Care Team

 Medical assistants (MAs) are essential staff at most primary care practices. They keep patients flowing through the clinic and ensure that providers have the information and tools they need. But MAs are often capable of doing much more. Providers can reduce work stress, patients can receive improved quality of care, and primary care practices can still remain financially stable, in a team-based model of care when MAs more fully contribute. That’s because, as one of the first points of contact for patients, MAs often have a deep knowledge of patients’ personal and medical histories. Most are also adept at using the electronic health record (EHR), and with proper training, they can play major roles in preventive care, patient coaching, and population management. This webinar will address practice transformation, with an emphasis on the role that MAs play on the primary care team, through case studies and strategy discussion.   To register for this webinar, please click on the following link:  https://events-na3.adobeconnect.com/content/connect/c1/1013869859/en/events/event/shared/default_template_simple/event_registration.html?sco-id=1656595317&_charset_=utf-8
