"As a physician-led organization, our goal is to put the patient's needs first and foremost, and this program by COPC Senior Care Advantage will enhance the great care we have historically provided to our Medicare Advantage patients," said
"COPC Senior Care Advantage is an innovative population health model designed to provide higher quality, more efficient care for local Medicare Advantage patients," said
By partnering with like-minded Medicare health plans, COPC Senior Care Advantage will be accountable for improving the health care of COPC's Medicare Advantage patients. Under this model, the physicians at COPC will coordinate all of the care for enrolled members, including primary care, specialists, major local health systems and hospitals, laboratories and all of the ancillary services necessary to improve the health status of such members. They will also engage in advanced data analytics to support clinical decisions, ensuring that the appropriate care is delivered at the right time and place.
"We believe that more efficient care is possible if physicians assume both clinical and financial responsibility for patient care. By having robust data and increased resources at their fingertips, COPC physicians will be better able to deploy highly integrated, prevention-oriented care. Better outcomes are possible when innovative clinical programs are supported by actionable and timely data," said Shaker.
The COPC Senior Care Advantage program is designed to allow COPC physicians to spend more time with their patients. "Taking care of senior patients is more complicated than ever before given the prevalence of chronic illness among this population. Through this new arrangement, COPC Senior Care Advantage will be supporting COPC physicians with case managers, social workers, nurses and quality assurance staff," said
Across the country, health care officials are seeking ways to change the health care system from one that rewards the volume of services doctors provide to one that rewards high quality and value. The goal is to offer better quality care and save money by providing the right level of care at the right time with a focus on prevention. If patients are healthier, they are less likely to need expensive hospitalization or emergency care.
