Signify Health and Prospect

Signify Health, a top healthcare platform that uses advanced analytics, technology, and nationwide healthcare networks, announced a new partnership with Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc., a growing healthcare services company on January 11, 2023. The collaboration will help create and run value-based payment programs for superior care.

To improve care transformation, manage risk, and provide high-quality, coordinated patient care for its traditional Medicare fee-for-service patients, Prospect's Waterbury HEALTH and Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN) facilities and their affiliated provider network in Connecticut will join a Signify-enabled accountable care organization (ACO) in 2023 as part of the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP).

Signify Health will assist Prospect facilities in managing their MSSP ACO risk, lowering costs, and increasing quality incentives by providing data-driven, tailored population health roadmaps. Patients who seek treatment at Prospect's hospitals, which provide care to underprivileged and diverse populations across the state, will benefit from the strategic partnership.

EJay Lockwood, Vice President, Connecticut Coordinated Care at Prospect Medical Holdings stated, "Every healthcare market is different to a certain extent, but we were impressed by Signify's experience that has spanned so many markets and has managed to 'stay local' while simultaneously honing their approach to delivering on the core competencies that any successful ACO needs to have."

Tim Gronniger, Chief of Value-based Care Solutions, Signify Health, shared, "Prospect's Connecticut teams serve patients living in economically disadvantaged areas who also have been medically underserved. Through our work together, Prospect's Medicare patients will receive needed increased access to preventative and in-home services that will help improve their health outcomes, while creating a better overall experience for both patients and their care teams."

Aesthetic practices use PRIVI’s cloud-based portal to build personalized beauty memberships that can be comprised of neurotoxin, filler, skincare, body treatments and more – all on a convenient monthly membership plan.

And PRIVI gives patients what they want – a convenient monthly payment, ease of scheduling, customized treatment plans and better outcomes. “PatientFi has become a leading provider of payment solutions for large ticket aesthetic procedures, so PRIVI was a natural extension for us,” said Todd Watts, CEO and Co-Founder of PatientFi.

Enhabit is the first home health provider to receive the CHAP certification for its home health agencies in Petersburg, Virginia, and Clermont, Florida. The CHAP certification program brings Age-Friendly Health Systems, an initiative of The John A.

The movement has been shown to reduce cost of care, improve clinical retention and satisfaction, and improve patient outcomes. “We are proud to be at the forefront of bringing the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement to home-based care,” Enhabit Executive Vice President of Clinical Excellence and Strategy Bud Langham said. “While we’ve always focused on delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care, this movement provides a clear framework on how to incorporate these elements into our standards of care in a way that benefits our patients, clinicians, referral sources and payors.” CHAP certification demonstrates that Enhabit meets the industry’s highest nationally recognized standards for age-friendly care. The rigorous evaluation by CHAP focuses on providing a set of four evidence-based elements established by the Age-Friendly Health System movement known as the 4Ms: What Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility. “Enhabit has played an instrumental role in helping us bring the 4M Framework to the home setting,” CHAP Chief Operating Officer Teresa Harbour said. “As part of our Volunteer Advisory Group, the Enhabit team helped us develop the certification program along with educational tools and resources.
