Although Medical Care based on value There is in different flavors, the most successful recipe prioritizes preventive care, medical leadership, innovations that promote quality results, population health management instead of episodic care, primary care and specialists, doctors.
In statements to the American Medical Association, 2 Kaiser Medical Leaders permanently summarized how permanent medicine is putting those ideals into practice. Richard McCarthy, MDExecutive Medical Director or Permanent Medical Group of the Middle Atlantic (MAPMG) and Stephen Parodi, MDExecutive Vice President or The permanent medical group (TPMG), shared how value -based care is encouraging doctors to take the initiative, help patients for longer and find joy in medicine.
By focusing on prevention, value -based attention reduces health risks, improves early detection and increases in general Quality of care. This translates into significant improvements. In permanent Kaiser of the states of the average Atlantic, patients live from 6 to 8 years older than the national average. And the long -term approach of permanent Kaiser throughout the system in high quality care through the health management of the population has helped improve data measures and information information (Hedis), as in the care of diabetes and more.
“We are in 5% higher for eye exams and renal evaluations, 10% higher for statin therapy and the higher 25% for blood pressure control for diabetes patients,” said Dr. Ir. McCarthy.

Innovation to provide leading care in the industry
From the implementation of AI to the use of predictive analysis, DRS. McCarthy and Parodi also shared forms that innovation Ask the permanent Kaiser culture.
To help reduce the administrative charge of the doctor’s workforce, TPMG created a pilot program that displayed a tool for the listed environment of AI that transcribes notes of duration of visits to the patient, which allows doctors to focus more on patients. This technology was soon implemented in more than 25,000 doctors in Kaiser permanent.
“The way you can implement that child of technology as fast as we did is because we have doctors talking to the doctor,” said Dr. Parodi. “Then they are co -senating how that product of AI looks, and then improve it continuously.”

Dr. McCarthy noted that MAPMG is also regularly examining data to improve predictive modeling, coordination of care care and monitoring of patients. This process has helped reduce the readmission of the hospital by around 10%.
Doctors can present suggestions to improve processes, which can lead to the test and implementation of their ideas. “Every project we do is led by a doctor,” said Dr. McCarthy. “If you send an idea, you own it. He directs the team. We give you the support and resources to work.”
Collaboration builds the basis of effective care based on value
The integrated care model based on the value of Kaiser permanent, combined with innovations like these, guarantees that all care teams and departments contribute to better prevention and results of patients in all specialties.
“I am a neurologist in practice, but my team mammography program, colorectal exams, gachas [tests]”Dr. McCarthy said.” We automatically order diabetes tests, and those results will go to your primary care doctor. If I see a patient with high blood pressure, follow -ups will be established automatically. “
Moment towards care based on value
Looking to the future, both medical leaders reiterated ways in which value based on value repeats a more sustainable model to address medical care challenges, create healthier results and return Joy in medicine for the doctor’s workforce.
“Once again, the best solutions come from people who do the job,” said Dr. McCarthy. “I advise doctors to maintain balance in life, who have discretionary effort not only to care for patients, but also to think about the broader image of the population of patients they serve.”
“The value based on the value for permanent Kaiser and for the doctors who practice within the system have allowed us to lead to better patient -centered results,” said Dr. Parodi. “It has allowed us to collaborate as doctors among them, in geographies and especially specialties, in a very special and extremely satisfactory way.”
