Coordinated Regional Care

Navigating the Healthcare Maze through Coordinated Regional Care

The current American healthcare system is a confusing maze for many people. Too often, physicians and hospitals operate in silos and are at odds with health plans. Patients are left on their own to find specialists, schedule and keep appointments, and make important decisions about their care. For people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, obesity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, navigating through the maze can be almost impossible. That is especially true when conditions are aggravated by mental illness. 

The result is missed physician appointments, failure to follow prescription drug regimens, and an over-reliance on hospital emergency rooms for routine care. This is not only unhealthy for patients, but also very wasteful—and it drives up healthcare costs for everyone.

That’s why we developed our Coordinated Regional Care (CRC) model. Instead of working in isolation, our physicians, affiliated medical groups and hospitals collaborate closely and in partnership with health plans to give our patients and their families highly coordinated, personalized care. Whenever we enter a new market, we begin to implement our CRC model. 

Our healthcare team works to ensure that people receive the right primary, specialty and follow-up care—when they really need it—in the most appropriate clinical setting, whether that’s a physician’s office, an outpatient clinic, a hospital or even a patient’s home. When people do require hospitalization, their care is coordinated throughout their stay and beyond—from admission to discharge to home and back to the primary care physician—so all they need to do is focus on getting better.
