Managed Health Care Associates, Inc. (MHA) Releases New White Paper on Important Role of Post-Acute Care (PAC) Provider within an ACO
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Sept. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Managed Health Care Associates, Inc. (MHA), a leading health care services and technology company focused on the alternate site health care provider marketplace, today announced the release of a new white paper titled, "The Right Care for the Right Cost: Post-Acute and the Triple Aim". This paper is a collaborative effort between the MHA ACO Network and Leavitt Partners, a leading health care intelligence business, and focuses on the important role of the Post-Acute Care (PAC) Provider within an Accountable Care Organization (ACO).
Through detailed financial analyses and case study presentation, the work highlights the following:
- Type of services that ACOs should include within the post-acute spectrum
- How healthcare reform is impacting post-acute care payments and providers
- In what manner PAC partnerships support the ACO mission of better care, lower cost and overall increased health outcomes.
The paper also offers insight from specific case studies into the ACO-PAC Engagement Spectrum, which varies from minimal commitment to a fully integrated care continuum and how positive outcomes can help ACOs report on required CMS Quality Measures and reduce all cause and diagnosis specific Hospital Readmission Rates.
"We are pleased to be partnering with Leavitt Partners Consulting and co-authoring this paper regarding the impact of the post-acute care provider across the health care continuum," said Michael J. Sicilian, President of MHA. "The value of post-acute providers cannot be understated and is only projected to become a more critical component under health care reform and the ACA."
"The partnership between our firms enabled us to leverage our combined intelligence to uniquely analyze the post-acute market and produce information that will prove useful to any organization looking to transform health care," added Andrew Croshaw, President of Leavitt Partners Consulting.
