The Medical Society of Delaware (MSD) has signed an affiliation agreement with HealthTeamWorks, a Colorado non-profit organization.

In conjunction with HealthTeamWorks training, mentorship and tools, MSD will exclusively deliver local practice  support to Delaware’s medical community. HealthTeamWorks and MSD bring  combined  experience and knowledge in assisting primary care physicians transition into CMH practices.

The collaboration between HealthTeamWorks and MSD will result in the development of integrated medical communities or “medical neighborhoods” to improve efficiency and quality along the entire continuum of care.

The affiliation marks the beginning of a long-term relationship, which includes efforts underway with Delaware’s first statewide PCMH initiative, established in May 2012 by Highmark Delaware and MSD.

“The PCMH model has gained acceptance as the new standard of medical care with a focus on patient outcomes and continuity of care,” said Stephen J. Kushner,  president of  the medical society.

Kushner continued,  “The affiliation with HealthTeamWorks will benefit patients and doctors across Delaware by allowing our program to capitalize on the lessons learned in numerous other markets, and enable us to expedite the implementation of the recommended quality improvement processes. This partnership establishes MSD as a leader in reforming how health care is delivered to improve access to quality care and ultimately to improve the health status of Delawareans.”

  1. This is the way for medicine of the future. To reduce cost – do the tests with best technology possible. I would love to help any doctor in Delaware who wants state of the art MRI imaging.
