Comprehensive Care Solutions LLC (CCS) (www.ComprehensiveCareSolutions.com) today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with The CORE Institute® (www.thecoreinstitute.com), a leading orthopedic practice group, to bring its Orthopedic Optimization Program and health care reform strategies to the marketplace to help hospitals and other healthcare organizations navigate the changing face of healthcare. CCS has partnered with The CORE Institute® to help it achieve dramatic growth in volume and market share while achieving impressive results in quality, efficiency and profitability. CCS and The CORE Institute® are now collaborating to combine The CORE Institute’s® unique marketing program, evidence-based best practice order-sets and protocols, and educational materials into CCS’ Orthopedic Optimization Program that will now be offered to other health systems and orthopedic practice groups. CCS, through its strategic partnership with The CORE Institute®, helps health systems and physician groups become centers of excellence and achieve these same results for orthopedic and other service lines. CCS is a healthcare business development firm that is dedicated to helping physicians and health systems collaborate to design innovative programs, particularly its highly effective Orthopedic Optimization Program that increases market share, quality and efficiency, margins and physician alignment in orthopedic service lines.
“We are excited to be working with The CORE Institute® to bring our Orthopedic Optimization Program to the marketplace,” said Geoff Walton, CEO of CCS. “Our Orthopedic Optimization Program increases market share, quality and profit margins in orthopedic service lines while our healthcare reform strategies increase hospital/physician alignment through co-management and similar arrangements and incorporate new payment reform strategies such as bundled payments and ACOs. CCS has programs that can help every health system and service line thrive in today’s dynamic economic and regulatory environment.”
David Jacofsky, M.D., Chairman of The CORE Institute®, and a Principal of CCS, said “CCS principals have worked with The CORE Institute® from the very beginning and have been instrumental in achieving the growth and performance we are so proud of. Our reputation has caused many health systems and orthopedic practice groups to approach us for help. These requests for assistance led to the formalization of our long, successful relationship with CCS into a strategic partnership. CCS is now The CORE Institute’s® vehicle to bring the Orthopedic Optimization Program to other health systems so they can achieve the same levels of growth, quality and profitability. In that physician alignment is also important for achieving these goals, the health reform strategies offered by CCS complement the Orthopedic Optimization Program and are very valuable for all service lines.”
As a result of the aging of the population, and with obesity growing as a national health problem, orthopedics is expected to become the most important service line for many health systems and the only one where substantial growth is expected. Due to this fast growing market, orthopedic improvement programs have been offered by some consulting firms. In addition, due to the changes, risks and opportunities presented by health care reform, some consulting firms offer health care reform services. CCS is unique in that it is the only consulting firm that offers its robust Orthopedic Optimization Program, with clinical leadership provided by Mayo Clinic-trained orthopedic surgeons, as well as health care reform strategies, including bundled payments, co-management, and ACOs, led by health care executives with decades of experience in managed care and in specialized program management for chronically ill and frail populations.
CCS has the expertise and experience to offer programs for both Orthopedic Optimization and health care reform. The CCS team includes highly experienced surgeons, nurses, physician assistants, hospital and group practice administrators, management consultants, lawyers, and financial analysts. Providing such a broad range of services through one consulting firm allows greater efficiency in achieving desired outcomes. Our non-Orthopedic focused clients can utilize our health care reform services (such as co-management arrangements, bundled payment programs, and ACOs) and our orthopedic-focused clients can utilize our Orthopedic Optimization Program, our health care reform strategies, or both. No other consulting firm offers such a comprehensive set of services.
