We've committed $30 million over the next five years to move our network from crisis to progress – plus, different primary care funding opportunities and initiatives will launch in early 2025
We have exciting news! HPSM has committed $30 million to a groundbreaking, five-year Primary Care Investment Strategy.
Primary care is foundational to positive health outcomes and improved quality of care, and yet primary care practices nationwide are in crisis. The challenges of workforce shortages, provider burnout and inadequate funding were only exacerbated by the COVID-19 public health emergency.
To move our network from crisis to progress, HPSM will invest $30 million over the next five years to transform primary care in San Mateo County. With input from our provider community and industry experts, we are designing investments to target four specific goals:
- Better allocate resources to address chronic underinvestment, support the implementation of advanced primary care and shift from a focus on volume to value.
- Promote a robust and thriving workforce by fortifying a diverse primary care workforce in San Mateo County to increase capacity, bandwidth and joy.
- Improve population health by supporting our network to be more population-focused in order to achieve better, more equitable health outcomes for our members.
- Enhance the care experience for members and families so they are satisfied, engaged in their care and healthy.
Starting in early 2025, HPSM will launch different funding opportunities and initiatives to support each of our four primary care investment goals. We will send more information in provider notifications, so please make sure your contact information is updated.
