Today we’re pleased to announce that one of our network providers, Triad Primary Care (TPC), has transitioned to full-service family and primary care following its acquisition of Lake Jeanette Urgent Care in September 2021. TPC operates with a mission to provide personalized, high-quality care with the convenience of same-day appointments, lower costs,?and better outcomes for its patients. The practice is led by two board-certified physicians, both with ties to Yale University – Andrew Chow, MD, FACP and Keung Lee MD, PhD. “We’re excited to provide quality primary care and the convenience of same-day appointments to members of our community, but without the high co-pays and traditional episodic approach often associated with urgent care,” commented Dr. Chow. “We’re committed to educating patients and guiding them on achieving optimal health and wellness through continuous, value-based primary care on as-needed or long-term, preventive basis – all at a lower cost for patients, providers and payers.“ As one patient recently commented, "Within moments, I knew I had made the right choice...They are no longer an urgent care facility, but they promise to see their patients using same-day appointments. If I had been using this provider in the past, that one fact would have saved me thousands of dollars spent in a local emergency room.

We’re happy to announce that one of our clinically integrated networks (CINs) reported total medical cost improvement of 32% across three national commercial insurance payers compared to the previous 12 months. Additionally, a second CIN projected its clinics will receive more than triple its previous shared savings from its regional commercial payer. As a result of these cost improvements, we’ve been recognized as a 2024?Healthcare Innovation Innovator Award winner! We attribute these most recent cost improvements in part to our strategic use of data from the North Carolina state-designated health information exchange (HIE), NC HealthConnex, managed by the N.C. Health Information Exchange Authority (NC HIEA). We use hospital discharge data from NC HealthConnex to help our network of practices reduce hospital readmission rates of engaged Medicare patients to just 8.3% over 12 months, compared to the reported national average of 17%.?We also use a patent-pending algorithm to identify?interacting chronic conditions and suggested corresponding ICD10 codes based on combined electronic health record (EHR) and NC HealthConnex data.
