High-Quality Care

How our approach drives better quality outcomes

Many new care delivery models are focused on achieving better quality outcomes through greater collaboration and financial accountability. It’s the right move, and long overdue. We pioneered the innovative principles that they’re basing themselves on 70 years ago.

Because we’re all part of one organization, our primary care and specialty providers, pharmacies, and laboratories coordinate patient care to provide better quality outcomes. Best practices are shared and can be adopted quickly across the organization. Doctors have more time to focus on caring for patients and are committed to providing the right care instead of more care.
