Partnership Broadens Florida Based Organization
JACKSONVILLE, FL, FEBRUARY 6th, 2018: The Florida Association of ACOs (FLAACOs), the premier professional organization for Accountable Care Organizations and value-based healthcare leaders throughout Florida, announces today a partnership with Welltality. Welltality delivers a software plus service solution for scheduling and coordinating care. This partnership will promote a best in class service for expanding providers ability to deliver a comprehensive annual wellness visit to all their patients, including scheduling any appropriate follow-up care. Nicole Bradberry, CEO of FLAACOs says “Many ACO’s struggle with managing attribution and the loss of revenue due to patient churn. Typically, 25% of patients churn in and out of an ACO quarterly. These patients tend to be those that have the least amount of cost so it is important to retain them for benchmark credit. We have partnered with Welltality because their service solution solves for this problem without asking providers to do more work.” Welltality’s service solution is unique in that it combines state of the art technology plus medical assistant extenders, where needed, to see patients in their providers office. Their solution, in addition to improving ACO attribution churn, improves HEDIS and other quality measures while delivering high-quality preventative care to patients on behalf of their doctors.
“FLAACOs is the organization providing ACOs in the state of Florida the tools, resources, and relationships to be successful. We are so pleased to partner with them to help their members fulfil this critical piece of quality preventative care for Florida’s large Medicare population.” Matt Kane, CEO - Welltality
