There’s a new bridge across the Ohio River and it’s called Healthcare Solutions Network.
Jointly developed by St. Elizabeth and TriHealth, Healthcare Solutions Network will offer employers access to a single, clinically integrated and value-oriented network that covers the entire Tristate. It will allow us to better coordinate care and improve outcomes, and to partner with employers to create innovative solutions for a healthier and more productive workforce.
Employers know how important it is to accelerate ways to improve quality and lower costs. We had to think differently about how to achieve these goals—and believe this collaborative approach is the right path to better care. And working collaboratively will also create savings and better coordination of care for both patients and employers.
Simply, Healthcare Solutions Network allows us to do things better together than either of our organizations could do as well alone. It will accommodate new capabilities such as:
- Managed-care products: Introducing commercial and Medicare Advantage products through this select network that are cost efficient, high-quality alternatives to broad-based networks.
- Integrated network: Creating a single network that aligns physicians and hospitals in order to improve quality and outcomes under a common infrastructure.
- Clinical services: Coordinating select services to speed adoption of best practices and enhance access at both patient and population levels.
- Population health management: Managing the health of large patient groups through a single clinical network that offers additional value for patients.
Our systems’ services are highly complementary. This collaboration will make it easier for our physicians, patients, employers and insurers—on both sides of the river—to benefit from one, high-quality, value-oriented and efficient source for health services and solutions.
