The Parkview Care Partners Clinical Integration Program facilitates the coordination of patient care across medical conditions, providers, settings and time. The result is patient-centered care that is safe, timely, effective and efficient, meeting or exceeding national quality standards.
Parkview Care Partners is a not-for-profit, physician-led care management organization uniting Parkview Health, Parkview Physicians Group, and independent physicians in Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio. This collaboration supports the use of best practices in evidence-based medicine, technology and EMR-based knowledge management in order to improve the coordination and quality of patient care while providing value to patients, providers and insurers.
Benefit plans that include Parkview Care Partners physicians and facilities give employers the ability to control healthcare costs while providing employees with high-quality, high-value health and wellness resources. Consistent, measured quality parameters mean providers are focused on the best care and optimal health for patients.
Physician leadership is important to a clinically integrated organization because for most patients, providers – especially in primary care – are the front door to the entire health system. Physician leaders serve on committees and work to restructure their practice to provide excellent service for every patient during every visit.
