Expand Excellent Services Across Geography

Today’s top health care providers can help lead the way toward a nationwide value-based health care delivery system that dramatically improves outcome and cost efficiency.

By expanding strategically and integrating with community providers, those already renowned for innovation and excellence and patient care can widen access, improve protocols, and help reduce fragmentation and geographic “gaps” in services.

The Cleveland Clinic Affiliate Programs

Grow areas of excellence across geography:
• Expand satellite pre- and post-acute services using a hub-and-spoke model
• Affiliate with community providers to extend the reach of Integrated Practice Units (IPUs)
Increase the volume of patients in medical conditions or primary care segments, rather than widening service lines locally, or adding new broad line units

Steps for Community Providers

Affiliate with excellent providers in more complex medical conditions and patient segments in order to access expertise, facilities and services to enable high-value care
Rural and community hospitals can take on new roles through affiliation
