POPULATION HEALTH: Management?

Posted on June 18, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP

SPONSOR: http://www.MarcinkoAssociates.com

What is population health management?

The Care Continuum Alliance, an alliance of stakeholders across the continuum of care, is working precisely toward the goal of improving the health of populations. They espouse a detailed set of principles and a model of “population health management.” It can be summed up, in the broadest sense, as the care provider community, in partnership with patients and their families, conducting proactive and collective monitoring of the patient’s healthcare quality, adherence, access, and outcomes with the goal of improving the health of an entire patient population.

As such, population health management stresses wellness and prevention through lifestyle and disease management and complex case management to remove the gap between zero care and costly chronic or emergency care. It emphasizes the full spectrum of needs from prevention and wellness to keeping healthy people and at-risk people healthy, to better manage the care of those with chronic conditions, and to still be ready to provide emergent or acute care services. In most cases, it also includes the involved providers taking on accountability for the financial risk and quality of care provided.

We have been working with administrative and physician leaders across the country to grapple with what it will mean to actually foster valuable population health management in the different communities they serve. It is clear that this is a whole new paradigm and that the years of experience and training that have brought them to where they are today may not have sufficiently prepared them for what is to come. It requires a well-coordinated and complete continuum of care, with new metrics and advanced analytics. As one might expect,while clusters of resistance to the idea remain, most have flung themselves into learning mode and are beginning to “act their way into new thinking.”

However, we also see a big risk in powering ahead without revisiting the role of a key stakeholder group—patients and their families, whose experience and perspective are often left behind, but whose actions will have a profound effect on the future success of population health management efforts.

VALUE BASED CARE: CVS and Walgreens

Posted on June 18, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

The retail pharmacy giants have made a string of multi-billion dollar deals!

By Staff Reporters

CVS and Walgreens have been spending money like there is no tomorrow! In fact, the two retail pharmacy giants have made a string of multi-billion dollar acquisitions of primary care providers in the past couple years, including the $5.2 billion VillageMD acquisition in 2021 (Walgreens) and the $10.6 billion plan to buy Oak Street Health (CVS).

VillageMD also bought primary care clinic operator Summit Health-CityMD in January 2023, which Walgreens invested $3.5 billion in, and CVS spent roughly $8 billion to acquire Signify Health, a value-based payment platform, in September 2022.

So what do all these deals have in common? Value-based care.

PODCAST: Farzad Mostashari MD and “Aledade”Primary Care

Posted on June 18, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By Shahid N Shah

***

***

Our guest on this episode is Dr. Farzad Mostashari. Farzad is the co-founder and CEO of Aledade, a primary care enablement company that partners with independent PCPs to transition to value-based care and, as a result, maintain their independence.

Founded in 2014, Aledade works with 11,000 physicians across 40 states and DC, accounting for 1.7M patients under management in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Commercial and Medicaid contracts. Farzad previously served as the National Coordinator for Health IT in the Department of Health and Human Services, he completed medical school at the Yale School of Medicine and a Master’s in Population Health from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Earlier this year, Aledade raised a $123M Series E round of funding led by OMERS Growth Equity.

***

In this episode, colleague Shahid N. Shah will discuss with Farzad about (1) his journey to starting Aledade and the role policy expertise and evidence have played in the company’s success (2) why he and the company are betting on independent physicians as the drivers of change in value-based care and (3) how Aledade became the rare profitable health tech company.
