The healthcare organizations have formed an accountable care organization to share clinical and case management information and coordinate comprehensive healthcare services for Blue Shield members assigned to a participating Hill physician or treated at Dignity’s Stockton, Calif.-based St. Joseph’s Medical Center.
This ACO is the third such arrangement between these three organizations. They have already established ACOs in San Francisco and Sacramento, Calif.
“Our accountable care work in Sacramento and San Francisco has helped us develop best practices. We are now confident that these can be adapted to meet the need of San Joaquin area residents, ultimately lowering the premium costs for our members and enabling our affiliated practices to attract new patients,” said Harpreet Grewal, MD, medical director for Hill Physicians San Joaquin Region.
