Under the agreement, HealthPartners will reimburse Allina providers based on patient outcomes, such as hospital readmissions, care coordination through electronic document exchange and preventive care use.

Allina and HealthPartners have previous experience working together on new payment models. For the past decade, the organizations have collaborated on an ACO called the Northwest Metro Alliance, which has generated $40 million in savings over the last 10 years.
