Dr. Neeraj Tayal is a general internist who takes an innovative approach to developing clinical programs in primary care.
He has experience in practice management, information systems and healthcare quality improvement, and applies all of that expertise to improving our healthcare system to better serve the population of Central Ohio. He also enjoys collaborating with other medical faculty, both at OSUMC and across the country, to develop in professional programs in clinical care, education and research.
Previously, Dr. Tayal played an instrumental role in the development of OSUMC’s electronic health records system. He was also a key part of the team that developed OSUMC’s electronic patient portal, Ohio State MyChart. In addition he led the successful effort to achieve the highest level of NCQA’s Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition possible at all seven GIM sites.
Currently, Dr. Tayal oversees two initiatives that achieve better patients care by prioritizing value over volume. The Million Hearts initiative seeks to improve health care regarding heart disease and treat treatment and prevention through better doctor-patient communication and other tools. The Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) initiative is a public-private partnership to strengthen primary care by providing primary care practices with additional resources to improve care coordination. The partnership, which is designed to provide improved access to quality health care at lower costs, includes payer partners from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), state Medicaid agencies, commercial health plans, self-insured businesses and primary care providers.
