You want to deliver the best possible care for your patients. That’s our goal, too. Aledade offers primary care providers access to cutting-edge data analytics, user-friendly guided workflows, unparalleled regulatory expertise, strong payer relationships, and local, hands-on support from attentive experts. Our goal is to make it simple for your primary care practice or community health center to participate in value-based care while improving outcomes for patients and supporting a cost-effective, high-value healthcare system for your community.
Independent primary care providers and community health centers who want to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, other government programs, or available commercial contracts can join an Aledade accountable care organization (ACO) with other healthcare providers in their region.
Our team has simplified the complex goal of generating ACO savings by focusing on a few targeted initiatives that further our population health goals and have savings potential. These areas of attention are the top priorities for ACO work and practices and that excel in these four competencies tend to have positive health outcomes and achieve savings.
The four initiatives include:
Access & Quality
At Aledade, true quality improvement means more than just satisfying performance metrics. We’re founded on the idea that the most important quality metric is maintaining a true connection to primary care. We built the Aledade App, our web-based population health technology powered by Core 4, with tools that enable a thorough assessment of patient risk factors while also promoting discussion on wellness education and advance care planning.
Care Transitions
The evidence is clear that helping patients through transitions between care settings leads to much greater patient satisfaction and much fewer adverse, avoidable and costly health care events. On the Aledade app, we integrate hospital and claims data for timely identification of recent ED patients, and post-discharge workflows enable physicians to follow-up with patients to reduce avoidable readmissions for patients transitioning from an inpatient setting.
Risk Stratification
Risk Stratification is a term of art in healthcare that refers to the alignment of patients with the right clinical initiatives, according to their clinical diagnoses and burden of illness. With the Aledade App, physicians can easily identify care quality and risk gaps across their patient population. Practices who use this target metric and preview risk suggestions are 2 to 3 times more likely to capture risk adjustment opportunities during the patient’s visit.
Care Compass
Our goal is to help primary care practices find new ways to provide even more care to their patients - care that helps improve outcomes and lower costs across the health care system. That includes the use of data to help patients get the best care complementary to the care they get in their PCP’s actual office - care like high value referral management work as well as wraparound programs being pioneered by Aledade Care Solutions, the first of which is Comprehensive Advance Care Planning through Iris.
Healthcare providers won’t be able to rely on traditional revenue models forever. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and many commercial payers are using numerous financial levers to put pressure on providers to improve quality and reduce costs.
Aledade helps turn those pressures into clear and attainable opportunities to deliver better care, strengthen relationships with your patients, and secure long-term sustainability for your practice.
Aledade is designed to help practices of all sizes and types thrive in the value-based care environment. Learn more about our different partners and how our customized services can help your organization make the transition to value-based care.
