Broward Health ACO Services, is collaborating with South Florida physicians that aim to improve the quality of patient care and satisfaction. To accomplish this, the participating health plans will advise ACO physicians and Broward Health should potential gaps in care be identified of your aligned patients. These aligned patients, are closely monitored by the health plans for compliance with preventive and follow up care. Broward Health ACO Services will communicate with you and your office staff providing updates, reports, and assist in gathering patient level information when applicable, such as completion of evidenced based preventive screenings.
Our population health team consists of RN care coordinators, and mental health professionals who will collaborate with you to assess care needs and create a patient care plan as appropriate. We will work to identify any potential barriers a patient may have and assist in assuring appropriate resources, (i.e.: Home Care, Social Services, Pharmacy, and Behavioral Health) are provided. When your patients are hospitalized, we will work with the discharge planners at the hospital to ensure that you have the transition of care information needed to maintain continuity of care.
