PPOC Mission Statement

The mission of the Pediatric Physicians' Organization at Children's (PPOC) is to enhance member pediatricians' ability to deliver the highest quality patient care to the children they serve.

In addition, the PPOC will improve the professional satisfaction and operational effectiveness of its members.

This mission can best be achieved through integration of the collective expertise of its members in collaboration with Children's Hospital and the Physicians' Organization at Children's.

The Pediatric Physicians' Organization at Children's (PPOC) has been operational since January 1999 and was incorporated to bring together pediatricians, pediatric medical groups, and pediatric specialists at Children's Hospital Boston. It is committed to supporting the mission of the hospital itself while at the same time working with managed care organizations, HMOs, insurers and networking on behalf of both its members and Children's.
Image The PPOC is unique in the Boston managed care marketplace, as we are the only true and comprehensive pediatric organization. As such, we are able to prioritize the issues and concerns of our members while at the same time advocating for all children in the present medical environment. The breadth and depth of our physicians will allow us to be leaders in disease and case management, which are the future frontiers in managing medical care.
Leadership is provided through a physician Board of Directors. Membership in the PPOC is meant to be inclusive as possible and open to all members of the Children's medical staff, both geographically based at Children's Hospital and its affiliated medical staff based in the community.
The organization had developed and implemented disease management programs for pediatricians including Asthma, ADD/ADHD, Chronic Otitis Media and Obesity. These quality improvement initiatives are viewed as cutting edge and outstanding. The PPOC was recently placed on the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Physician Group Honor Roll for its commitment and dedication to quality improvement health care.
