Clinical Focus
Physician Meetings
Monthly physician meetings provide a forum for discussing care initiatives, reviewing research and more.
Office Manager Meetings
Monthly office manager meetings often focus on Pay for Performance (P4P) initiatives, billing and coding, and EMR issues.
Care Manager Meetings
Quarterly care manager meetings provide an opportunity to explore care access and coordination.
Physician Satisfaction
Our job is to make your job easier and more fulfilling. One way we do that is to facilitate sharing of best practices between you, your peers and your support staff. We value your voice and your point of view.
Care Initiatives
Based on member input, we develop clinical programs and processes that can be easily integrated into practices.
Group Contracts
We leverage member unity to secure favorable terms with insurers, vaccine providers and other suppliers.
Community Partnerships
We collaborate with community resources to give members easy access to data, research, pilot programs and more.
Empowering Practices
We are the voice of independent practices, advocating for new models and care systems that improve the lives of our patients. Our programs adhere to the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model, which drives significant reforms in healthcare delivery. Promoting these standards—including Electronic Health Records (EHR)—helps members deliver better care, cultivate patient relationships and capture savings.
Asthma Support
WAFC funds the certification of an asthma champion in each member practice, improving quality and consistency of care.
Nutritional Support
WAFC employs three registered dietitians who rotate through offices and provide virtual visits for certain diagnoses, including eating disorders.
Post Partum Support
Consistent screening for parents of newborns, community partnerships focused on therapeutic support.
Behavioral Health Support
Embedded infrastructure for each office to provide psychiatric care to their patients.
Healthy Kids
Everything we do is aimed at helping members improve the health of children in their communities. Here are just three examples of health-impacting programs embraced by our members.
Benefits
WAFC assists members with the issues most important to them, as determined by the members themselves.
By providing the tools and infrastructure required to adapt and re-adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment, our goal is to invoke prosperity and growth amongst pediatric practices, while allowing them to remain independent.
“WAFC enabled private physicians to give the best, safest and most appropriate care to the children of the community.”
