Clinical Transformation Workgroups
Clinical Transformation Workgroups (CTWs) are physician-led and bring together interdisciplinary subject matter experts from across the care continuum to enhance the quality of care for patients. Participating physicians are incentivized by receiving an educational credit counting toward their overall BPP citizenship requirement. The governance structure of these workgroups allow quick turnaround times in response to identified opportunities.
Reducing unwarranted clinical variation continues to stand as a pillar of BPP’s population health strategy. The era of COVID-19 transformed the way the CTWs develop and implement consensus-based clinical guidelines. Historically, CTWs targeted patients with high-cost, high-risk disease states who are cared for in the ambulatory setting. In our post-COVID-19 health care landscape, CTWs now also create guidelines that focus on care in the home setting through enhanced home support models (EHSMs).

In 2021 and 2022, CTWs concentrated their efforts on developing EHSMs for seven bundles, contributing to a reduction in overall SNF utilization. The below timeline includes a comprehensive list of CTWs by topic and the respective physician chair.
