FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 15, 2023<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n Colchester, Vt. – According to an independent analysis<\/a> commissioned by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center, OneCare Vermont successfully drove down costs and hospitalizations over four years. In a health care environment where patients tend to see nothing but consistent cost increases, this analysis shows that OneCare is working – lowering costs, driving down the need for hospitalizations, and improving patient care.<\/p>\n Key Findings in the Report include: <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro text” module_class=”fancy-pants-bullets” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#4cb49f” header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”10px||10px|10px|false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#45A142″ header_2_font_size=”42px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_text_color=”#3e9991″ header_3_font_size=”21px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_text_color=”#545456″ header_4_font_size=”21px” header_4_line_height=”1.5em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n “OneCare\u2019s progress is exciting and encouraging,\u201d said Carrie Wulfman, MD, OneCare chief medical officer. \u201cThis report shows that we are advancing our mission of supporting high-quality care and reducing health care spending through an unprecedented level of connection and coordination among our many different types of providers, across diverse care settings.”<\/p>\n OneCare is a Vermont owned and operated ACO that gives Vermont providers in their network necessary tools to provide the best health care possible. These include data and analysis, financial incentives for health outcomes and flexibility to deliver the right care at the right time at the right place.<\/p>\n By providing these tools, OneCare is moving our health care system towards a higher quality, more affordable, and coordinated model that better serves patients. By supporting providers, increasing access to preventative care and paying for value and health outcomes rather than various services, such as tests and operations, this system will keep Vermonters healthier while reducing the rate of growth in health care spending. Evaluators found the ACO structure in our state was an \u201cessential mechanism\u201d for supporting providers in value-based care.<\/p>\n \u201cOneCare is making progress towards its goals of lowering costs and improving Vermont\u2019s health care system,\u201d said Abe Berman, One Care\u2019s CEO. \u201cThere are over 5,000 providers partnering with OneCare who, thanks to the tools offered by the ACO, are delivering higher quality care and more savings to over 200,000 Vermonters. While we know there is a lot more work to do, this report is a clear indication that we are making real progress.\u201d<\/p>\n The report, which covered the model\u2019s evaluation results over its first four performance years (PYs), from 2018 through 2021, also highlighted several examples that contributed to OneCare\u2019s success, including:<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro text” module_class=”fancy-pants-bullets” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#4cb49f” header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”10px||10px|10px|false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#45A142″ header_2_font_size=”42px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_text_color=”#3e9991″ header_3_font_size=”21px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_text_color=”#545456″ header_4_font_size=”21px” header_4_line_height=”1.5em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/852307814?share=copy” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#45A142″ header_2_font_size=”42px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_text_color=”#3e9991″ header_3_font_size=”21px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_text_color=”#545456″ header_4_font_size=”21px” header_4_line_height=”1.5em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The National Association of Accountable Care Organizations<\/a> (NAACOS), responded to the independent evaluation by applauding the success of OneCare<\/a>, calling it a model that should be expanded across the nation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#D8EB0F” divider_weight=”9px” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”35px||15px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” border_color_all=”#80BC00″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#45A142″ header_2_font_size=”42px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_text_color=”#3e9991″ header_3_font_size=”21px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_text_color=”#545456″ header_4_font_size=”21px” header_4_line_height=”1.5em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Please contact Public Affairs at OneCare Vermont. public@onecarevt.org<\/a> | 802-847-1346<\/p>\n To stay up to date on OneCare, please visit our news blog<\/a> and our social media channels on LinkedIn<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Innovation Center releases rigorous evaluation, calling OneCare an \u201cessential mechanism\u201d for supporting providers in value-based care FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 15, 2023 Colchester, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[73,7],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
