Two traditionally hospital-focused provider organizations that are experimenting with new nontraditional models are profiled in this brief article. The first is Montefiore Medical Center (Bronx, NY), which has a wholly owned subsidiary named CMO-The Care Management Company. CMO was established in the late ’90s and was a principal reason that Montefiore was chosen to as a Pioneer Accountable Care Organization by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It provides Montefiore with a platform to assume financial risk for patients and put population health into practice. The second organization is Texas Health Resources, which has entered into a contract with Healthways, for disease management services.
Why do I like this article? It’s topical! It’s free full text! Two nice brief case studies.
