    The members of the ACICBL will resume their discussion of the 
legislatively mandated 15th Annual Report to the Secretary of Health 
and Human Services and Congress. The Committee members will continue to 
review, discuss, and make recommendations for programs under title VII, 
part D. The members will hear presentations on allied health, podiatry, 
chiropractic, pain care management, the budget process, primary care 
workforce reports, healthcare practice redesign, interprofessional 
accreditation standards, and performance measurement.
    Agenda: Healthcare practice redesign initiatives, such as the 
Patient-Centered Medical Home Model or the Planned Care Model, are 
emerging approaches to improve the quality of primary health care 
delivery. These models are comprehensive, multifaceted, and seek to 
provide high-quality care and continuity while involving patients, 
communities, health care teams, and policy makers. The members of the 
ACICBL will review (a) current issues related to healthcare practice 
redesign, (b) the implications of practice redesign on health 
professions education in relation to title VII, part D programs, and 
(c) accreditation standards for the disciplines that have incorporated 
interprofessional education into their accreditation standards and the 
effect this has had on practice. Committee discussion questions 
include:
    <bullet> How will changing the scope of practice of health 
professionals affect title VII, part D programming?
    <bullet> What statutory changes are needed to align with healthcare 
practice redesign?
    <bullet> What measures are needed for title VII, part D programs to 
have an impact on outcomes and quality?
