DESCRIPTION:Darren DeWalt\, MD\, MPH\n  \nDr. DeWalt is an expert in primary care and innovative models of care delivery and financing. His research spans new models of care\, health disparities\, health literacy\, quality improvement\, and patient reported outcomes. From 2014-2016\, Dr. DeWalt led a group at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to help support new models of care delivery and financing. \nDr. DeWalt has a long history of research and quality improvement at local\, regional\, and national levels. Dr. DeWalt was the principal investigator for the North Carolina Infrastructure for Maintaining Primary Care Transformation (NC IMPaCT) grant from AHRQ. He also led the design team and was a national improvement advisor for the Improving Performance in Practice (IPIP) program for the boards and specialty societies of internal medicine\, family medicine\, and pediatrics. IPIP helped practicing primary care physicians improve care systems through working in improvement networks\, measuring and sharing performance data\, and receiving improvement education and training.
