Value Based Care and ACO Partnership

As Kintegra, like many health care organizations continues its strategy to move towards value-based healthcare, value-based care collaboration is key to ensuring the delivery of quality care and improved patient health outcomes.

An ACO is a group of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients. The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors.

Kintegra Health partners with CHESS Health Solutions to provide care which results in better outcomes for individuals and patient populations. This value-based care collaboration works to understand the needs of Kintegra’s patient population and provides innovative high-touch services that address the needs of the sickest and most impacted individuals, while aligning with clinical and financial goals. This partnership aims to improve how care is delivered, lowers the cost of care, and, most important, achieves better patient outcomes.
