Here are three things to know about the accountable care partnership.
1. Officials with both parties said the partnership will benefit more than 8,500 Connecticut residents enrolled in UnitedHealthcare’s employer-sponsored and Oxford health plans.
2. SFHCP and UnitedHealthcare’s partnership will expand on the successful work which began a few years ago focusing on UnitedHealthcare’s Medicare Advantage members.
3. Under the partnership, UnitedHealthcare — which serves more than 1 million Connecticut residents with a network of 43 hospitals and other care facilities and more than 14,500 physicians and other care providers statewide — will provide additional support to SFHCP to help manage overall population health. That support includes technology and information. According to a news release, actionable data can include patient profiles, identifying specific gaps in care and receiving real-time information about emergency room and inpatient admissions. Officials said patient navigators may also be used to support community-based care coordination, such as helping with transition plans after patients are discharged from the hospital, scheduling follow-up appointments and closing care gaps.
