We are dedicated to strengthening community health systems by working collaboratively with community providers and sharing our expertise in areas such as managed care contracting, quality improvement and strategic planning. We have developed a network of providers that includes primary and specialty care doctors, community hospitals, nursing homes, home health care services and our medical center. Network members are working together to improve the health status of citizens in our communities and ensure mutual success in the managed care environment. Our goal is to develop an organized, seamless continuum of care that links patients, providers and payers to achieve the best possible value in health care. Community health systems are strengthened.
Patients have quicker and wider access to specialists.
Community health status is improved through coordination and communication between providers to establish population-based disease management programs, resulting in better outcomes and lower costs. Communities get assistance recruiting physicians, benefit from a free exchange of information and technology, and have access to research and educational opportunities for their physicians. Individual providers have access to multiple care competencies for success in their practice. The Medical Center is sensitive to the needs and desires of physicians relative to practice organization and structure and supports physicians in developing the model they choose for their practices.
