From Orlando Health: “Orlando Health’s Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, Health Central Hospital, Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC), South Seminole Hospital, and South Lake Hospital in affiliation with Orlando Health have all received ‘A’ hospital safety grades by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit organization operated by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. Grades are based on a point system that assigns – then calculates – numerical scores of nearly 30 healthcare measures including communication between clinicians and patients, implementation of processes and protocols to promote safe patient care that have been established by the National Quality Forum, and a hospital’s culture.” https://bit.ly/4hnpWRV

Companies like Headway are solving the barriers to entry for providers and patients – overall, access to in-network therapy has increased. But to improve the entire mental healthcare system and health outcomes, driving access and volume of appointments cannot be the only objective. To explore this topic, an expert panel of industry veterans will come together to drive a conversation exploring: Now that the industry has made progress on access, how do we dig a level deeper to ensure patients are getting the right care? And, how we transition as a sector to organize around and incentivize quality care at scale. See you November 6 at 1:15pm! Secure your spot today >> https://hubs.li/Q02WLjsF0
