As a part of Aledade's recognition for National Palliative Care and Hospice Month, Dr. Josh Lowentritt, senior medical director, recently spoke with Hospice News about the mutual benefits palliative care physicians and other clinicians can have in value-based care arrangements. "Thinking about total cost of care, palliative care clinicians ideally would want to be in a value-based care model to understand and get data on where excess suffering and spending may be occurring and how they can impact it," said Lowentritt. Aledade's Comprehensive Advance Care Planning (CACP) program leads to higher quality care, better experience and increased satisfaction for both patients and their families. Clinicians achieve a better experience, as well, with 92% of physician practices reporting that Aledade’s CACP program provided a beneficial service to patients. Read more: https://ow.ly/Kroh50U5x5I
