Oregon’s APM program provides participating Health Centers with prospective per-member per-month (PMPM) payments, rather than the traditional PPS encounter rates. This allows practitioners to engage their communities in more patient-centered health strategies.  \nThe Advanced Payment and Care Model (APCM) is a model that involves participation in learning communities etc. that goes beyond the scope of this specific APM program. An overall aim for advancing the APCM is to align payment with an efficient, effective, an emerging care model that lowers overall costs while improving quality, access, and health equity.  \nAdvanced APMs are a subset of APMs that let practices earn more rewards in exchange for taking on risk related to patient outcomes.  \nTogether, the two terms are known as Oregon’s Alternative Payment Methodology and Advanced Care Model (“APCM”) program. The intent of the APM/APCM Program is to align payment for Health Centers with high quality, efficient provision of patient-centered health care in order to incentivize high-value services over a volume of visits. The participating parties understand that the program is intended to incent a significant transition in patient-centered care and that it will likely result in a reduction in traditional, billable patient visits. At the same time, the program will likely result in an increase in nonbillable engagement with the patient known as Care STEPs (Services that Engage Patients) .  \nHow did this program in Oregon begin?  \nIn 2013 OHA launched the Alternative Payment Methodology (APM) Program with three FQHCs.  \nSince that time, many additional Health Centers have joined the program, with two more that recently joined on July 1st, 2019 for a current total of 18 Health Centers participating in the program.  \nWhat is the payment methodology for this program?  \nOHA agrees to pay participating Health Centers PMPM payments each month. OHA pays a prorated daily PMPM amount for individuals added or deleted from Health Center’s APCM Program during the month. Open Card Patients also referred to as Fee-for-Service (FFS) Patients are included in the APCM program, and a unique Open Card rate is established.  \nWhat types of data collection and data tracking is involved in APM?  \nAPM Quality Metrics Overview:  \nOHA tracks five metrics on a quarterly basis for APM-enrolled FQHCs that have been aligned with the Coordinate Care Organization (CCO) incentive measures, in order to hold Health Centers accountable for the quality of care (and provide comparative analysis to their contracted CCOs performance) .  \nQuality Met","cbCaibh5OeqxJXcg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibh5OeqxJXcg","pdf",219459,"English","# APM terminology and definitions\n## What APM stands for\n## Common related acronyms\n# APM vs APCM\n## Payment approach and goals\n## Advanced APMs and risk\n# Program history in Oregon\n## Launch and participation growth\n# Payment methodology\n## PMPM payments and Open Card patients\n# Data collection and tracking in APM\n## APM quality metrics\n## Patient experience reporting (CAHPS)\n## Care STEPs reporting","[{\"question\":\"What does “APM” stand for in Oregon, and what is the APM program’s purpose?\",\"answer\":\"In this context, “APM” refers to Oregon’s Alternative Payment Methodology.
