Read the NY Docs letter (to which New York Chapter 2 has signed on) to the New York legislature regarding funding for health care programs that are essential to health care delivery in New York State.


Advanced Primary Care (APC) is a NY State DOH program that helps providers succeed in value-based payments. Free assistance is given to gain skills that will enable you to engage in payer quality programs. See the flyer for more information or go to the website.


 

NYSDOH, in partnership with NCQA, has developed a New York specific Patient-Centered Medical Home model, known as, NYSPCMH. The newly designed NCQA PCMH 2017 model is distinctly different in design than prior programs and NYSDOH has embraced these changes in support of advancing primary care and pediatrics throughout the State.

Immunization Victory!

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation Thursday, June 13, 2019, to end religious exemptions for vaccines. The legislation comes as the U.S. grapples with one of its worst outbreaks of measles in years.

Cuomo signed the bill almost immediately after the New York state Senate and Assembly advanced the measure. “The science is crystal clear: Vaccines are safe, effective and the best way to keep our children safe. This administration has taken aggressive action to contain the measles outbreak, but given its scale, additional steps are needed to end this public health crisis,” Cuomo said in a statement. “While I understand and respect freedom of religion, our first job is to protect the public health and by signing this measure into law, we will help prevent further transmissions and stop this outbreak right in its tracks.”

The governor’s office argued that this measure would help protect the public amid an ongoing measles outbreak.
