Healthcare Innovation in Action: 19 Transformative Trends

Three years post-ACA, early innovators of care delivery models and mandates emanating from healthcare reform are reporting significant success in terms of health outcomes and cost control.

The most encouraging metrics have been achieved by healthcare organizations that customize a model or intervention to better serve their population's needs.

Healthcare Innovation in Action: 19 Transformative Trends examines a set of pioneering efforts supporting the industry's seismic shift from a volume-based culture to one rewarding value and patient-centeredness, including:

• An accountable care organization (ACO) engaging specialists in care coordination;
• A patient-centered medical home expanded to a medical neighborhood;
• A health system connecting Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries (dual eligibles) to vital community supports;
• A university health system clinic bolstering transitions in care for its just-discharged patients with regular home visits; and
• A QIO that digs deep in local data to identify high-risk patients and reduce 30-day readmissions.
