University Hospitals Quality Care Network Joins the Population Health Alliance
Physician-lead ACO joins national industry trade association in collective pursuit of improved health outcomes.
Washington, DC, August 14, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Population Health Alliance (PHA), the industry’s only multi-stakeholder professional and trade association solely focused on population health, today announced that University Hospitals Quality Care Network (uhqcn.org) has joined the organization as a member. UH Quality Care Network was established in 2016 to lead and transform the practice of healthcare though evidence-based medicine. The vision of UH Quality Care Network is to lead a clinically integrated network of providers to improve the quality, experience and cost of healthcare.
The UH Quality Care Network hosts a publicly accessible database of Adult Clinical Practice Guidelines & Toolkits. Developed by a multi-disciplinary team, these toolkits provide easy to use guidelines that aide providers in their pursuit of successful value-based-care.
“I am very excited to welcome the UH Quality Care Network to PHA’s community of members. Their physician-lead ACO closely shares PHA’s ambitions for an accessible health care system that rewards improved outcomes at optimized spend,” said Jaan Sidorov, CEO & President at the PA Clinical Network and President of the Population Health Alliance. “Whether independent or part of a care system, our national network of population health management professionals will benefit from their contributions to PHA,” added Sidorov.
“University Hospitals Quality Care Network is thrilled to join the Population Health Alliance. University Hospitals continues to advance the science of health and the art of compassion while providing the highest value care to our community,” said Mark Schario, President of the UH Quality Care Network. “We are excited to gain the support of the Population Health Alliance and their strong community of population health management professionals.”
Dr. Peter Pronovost, Chief Transformation Officer for University Hospitals added, “We look forward to continuing our efforts to keep people healthy at home, rather than healing in a hospital. We hope to support the Alliance by providing resources and perspectives that are unique to University Hospitals.”
