The alliance is a joint venture equally owned by member physicians and Providence Southern California. PPH will be led and governed by physicians at one or more of the five Providence hospitals in the San Fernando Valley and the South Bay.
Member physicians have agreed to share their data on quality, receive feedback on performance from their physician colleagues and demonstrate adherence to PPH-developed care guidelines with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes for patients. PPH will focus on achieving clinical integration by forming teams of physicians, clinicians and experts who will identify opportunities for advancing medical care, including standardizing practices shown to provide the best results.
To support physician members, Providence has developed shared programs and an organizational infrastructure that includes information technology, a data warehouse and an electronic medical records system.
