Valued Employees Drive Business Value

As CEO Andrew Molosky has said, we have two jobs: taking care of patients and taking care of those who do. This mantra shapes the organization’s growth strategy, as Chapters Health System has become the nation’s largest not-for-profit advanced illness and hospice organization. The focus on caregivers enables their value-based business model, driving better patient and financial outcomes and guides the organizational culture and commitment to providing holistic, compassionate care.

Case Study: Turning Data Into Accountability with Analytics

The decision to invest in moving up the value ladder is multifaceted: Do I build, buy, or partner? How much will this cost? And what’s the ROI? One school of thought boils this decision-making down to two words: go longitudinal. Hear how New Day Healthcare manages patients between care delivery incidents through its ‘Carelytics’ data and analytics platform to: dramatically reduce hospitalization and falls; increase days at home; solidify MCO partnerships; and lower patient acquisition costs.
