85-H. Primary Care Partnerships: How They Work, Why They Matter

Is your senior living organization aiming to improve residents' health outcomes but unsure how to proceed? This session will offer a practical solution: establish a partnership with an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and a primary care medical group to deliver enhanced clinical services to residents. Presenters will describe how their multisite organization's primary care team partnered with an ACO to establish a Medicare Shared Savings Program. You'll learn about the partnership's operational and financial benefits, including better care, fewer avoidable hospitalizations, longer resident stays, and lower turnover. Discover how these partnerships work, why they matter, and the steps providers can take to implement them effectively.
