MIPS Project Challenge:
The goal of this MIPS project is to conduct a feasibility study of the company’s ICmed platform for Patient-Family Engaged Care (PFEC) intervention with older, adult patients.

Project Scope:
Through the MIPS project, researchers will follow community-dwelling, independent living older adults and their caregivers and providers’ use of PFEC over a one-month treatment period. Researchers will determine: 1.) the feasibility of implementing the PFEC intervention within a primary care practice; 2.) the challenges of implementing the interventions at the patient, clinician, practice staff, and practice level; 3). the uptake and confidence among primary care practices to improve patient engagement, reliability and medication adherence (safety) through patient and family engagement; 4.) how the implementation of PFEC intervention changes the perception of patient safety among patients, their family caregiver, clinicians, and practice staff; 5.) whether the primary care practice would like to continue to use PFEC (or its interventions) beyond the period of field testing and evaluation; and 6.) what changes patients, family caregivers, clinicians, and practice staff would recommend to the PFEC intervention to improve the system.
