“As Illinois’ largest health system spanning the Greater Chicagoland area and central Illinois, the communities we serve are diverse and so too are their needs. Like the rest of the nation, we find that diabetes, obesity and heart disease are health challenges across all of our markets, but the common underlying concern is the need for access to quality and affordable care delivered in a coordinated way.
As one of the largest accountable care organizations in the country, Advocate’s clinical integration efforts promote collaboration between physicians and hospitals to improve quality and efficiency, ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients. Our clinical focus has expanded beyond management of patients with specific diseases toward management of entire populations. This has placed added focus on health and wellness and coordination of care across the continuum.
Advocate recently partnered with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois to create BlueCare Direct — a health plan that promotes high quality care at a low cost and offers access to more than 250 sites of care. Advocate also partnered with Walgreens to operate 56 healthcare clinics, further improving access to care and care coordination. These efforts, among others, are ultimately addressing our market’s need for quality, affordable care that helps people lead healthier lives.”
