Robert J. Master, MD Honored With National Health Quality Award
March 18, 2009
Washington, DC
NCQA, the nation’s leading driver of healthcare improvement and quality, has acknowledged the work of Robert J. Master, MD, alongside President Obama’s Director of Management and Budget Peter Orszag, and two other honorees at a national awards ceremony in Washington, DC. Dr. Master joins a prestigious list of former award recipients, including US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and US Surgeon General David Satcher.
Dr. Master was recognized for his leadership in improving the quality of care for vulnerable populations, most recently creating the Commonwealth Care Alliance, a nonprofit care delivery system committed to serving the elderly and individuals with disabilities through the provision of enhanced primary care in an integrated approach with related social support services. Commonwealth Care Alliance cares for over 2,000 members—Medicare and Medicaid’s most medically complex and frail beneficiaries—by investing heavily and creatively in developing team models of care and providing primary medical care and community-based long-term care services. Commonwealth Care Alliance is able to deliver this highly personalized approach to care by bringing together Medicare and Medicaid financing to serve as the "insurer" as well as the organizer and provider of healthcare and social services.

BCMG receives Quality of Life Grant through the Christopher and
Dana Reeve Foundation
The Reeve Foundation Quality of Life Grants Program awards grants to non-profit organizations for programs or projects that improve the daily lives of people with paralysis, with some emphasis on, but not limited to, paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries. Boston’s Community Medical Group’s grant falls under the category of Bridging Barriers, which was conceived by the late Dana Reeve to recognize and support organizations that help disabled individuals, their families, and caregivers in ways that more immediately give them increased independence, day-to-day happiness, and improved access.
The funds from this grant will be used to purchase a portable XSensor Pressure Mapping/Imaging System. This system will enable our Rehab Team to conduct pressure mapping evaluations in our patients’ homes, day programs or on-site at BCMG. The information gathered will be reviewed with the patient, and a consensus will be reached on the most appropriate seating system and/or bed support surface for the patient, with the goal of reducing the occurrence of decubitus ulcers (or skin breakdowns), thereby improving the health and quality of life for our patients. Skin breakdowns are one of the most serious, preventable secondary conditions affecting individuals with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities.
