[Fwd: NYTimes.com: A Model for Health Care That Pays for Quality]

[Guest guest]

Here's a link to a NYTimes article about a program that seems to be

linked to the Dartmouth team and is trying to model a medical system where docs are

paid to do what we do with extended time with patients, special efforts to care for

chronic disease and communicate with patients when they aren't actually sitting in

front of us.Feels good to see this get some national press and formal support

from some big players.Tim---------------------------- NYTimes.com: A Model for Health Care
