Crossing the Aisle: Creating Unlikely Data Partnerships to Better Serve Medically Complex Patients

Date
November 4, 2016

Medically complex patients consume a disproportionate share of healthcare resources, yet often experience substandard outcomes. Patient care can be further impacted by the complex relationships between health plans and healthcare delivery systems. Partnership HealthPlan of California dispelled the common mythology of plan-health center relationships to form deep and lasting partnerships with health centers, with the goal of improving care for medically complex patients, while also improving patient experience and reducing costs. Leveraging a state-wide care coordination initiative out of the Pacific Business Group on Health, called the Intensive Outpatient Care Program, the health plan and health centers jointly built a regional care coordination program, developing a technological infrastructure, and sharing analytics on program and patient data across healthcare settings._x000D_
