Rebuilding the U.S. healthcare system to achieve the best outcomes

Insights from the president and CEO of Tampa General Hospital and Florida Health Sciences Center

One of the most significant struggles of the U.S. healthcare system is the lack of a consistent approach to care coordination and patient navigation across the healthcare ecosystem. The current system is disjointed and doesn’t prioritize caregivers or put the patients first, which has resulted in escalating costs and stagnant quality. As we continue on a collision course in our industry’s collective struggle to get this right, we must think differently and pursue alternative models of delivering care.

In this white paper, you will gain insights on best practices and lessons learned by Tampa General Hospital in implementing a 360-degree approach to patient-centered, coordinated care, and the impact it has on patients and providers. Additionally, the white paper explores and details:

• The current and faulty state of the U.S. healthcare system in relation to quality and cost and the need to adopt an alternate approach in providing patientcentered care

• An expansive understanding of care coordination and how it allows us to improve care quality and drive better outcomes

• Real-world examples of the positive outcomes for both patients and providers produced through a care coordination model

• Strategies to put consumers at the forefront of care

• The investment needed to stand up the care coordination model

“We must create a system that maximizes patient value by achieving the best possible outcomes at the lowest cost. I believe that well-designed and well-targeted care coordination has the potential to do just this.”
