Hey there, Hospitalogists! I wanted to share some exciting news about a recent partnership in healthcare and value-based care. Astrana and Awell have joined forces to bring CareOps to value-based care at scale, making them the first ever true partnership to do so. This partnership is groundbreaking as it allows care delivery organizations to design and improve their care processes at scale and closer to the speed of software companies. Awell’s CareOps model, which combines agile, efficient software with clinical expertise, is revolutionizing clinical workflows and aligning closely with the objectives of value-based care.
The journey of this partnership is quite interesting, starting with a casual interaction on social media that eventually led to a successful pilot around strategic priorities. Awell’s team’s dedication to driving results for their partners and their desire to ‘prove, not tell’ the value they bring has resulted in significant efficiency gains for Astrana. The pilot, which initially focused on transitional care management functions, demonstrated a 75% decrease in time spent on patient care, leading to the quick scaling of the pilot to other use cases and populations.
This partnership is a game-changer in healthcare and showcases the power of collaboration and innovation in driving healthcare forward. I’m excited to see how this partnership continues to evolve and set new standards for value-based care operations. Be on the lookout for Part 2 of this series, where we’ll dive into more practical thoughts around VBC operations.
