GHP PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES ON A PREPAID BASIS THROUGH AN INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, WHICH PROVIDES HEALTHCARE TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. AS PART OF AN INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, GHP IS ABLE TO CHANNEL EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE AND FUNDS TO PURSUE UNIQUE PROJECTS WITH GEISINGER. NO OTHER ORGANIZATION IN THIS REGION HAS BOTH PROVIDER AND PAYER JOINED TOGETHER TO CREATE SYNERGIES THAT IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE. PROVENHEALTH NAVIGATOR (PHN) GHP'S PROVENHEALTH NAVIGATOR (PHN) IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PATIENTS, PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND GHP TO IMPROVE MEMBERS' HEALTH. ALSO KNOWN AS A "MEDICAL HOME," PHN PROVIDES A CASE MANAGER WHO WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE MEMBER'S HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, THE MEMBER AND THE MEMBER'S FAMILY BY COORDINATING CARE WITH HOSPITALS, SPECIALISTS, PHARMACISTS AND SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES. THE MODEL GEISINGER EMPLOYS BLENDS ASPECTS OF A CHRONIC CARE MODEL, A MEDICAL HOME MODEL AND A PATIENT-CENTERED PRIMARY CARE MODEL. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS ARE INCLUDED, CREATING A NEW HEALTHCARE DELIVERY VEHICLE: HEALTH NAVIGATOR. ACTING AS THE FIRST-LINE CAREGIVER AND GUIDE, GEISINGER HEALTH PLAN NURSE CASE MANAGERS HELP MEMBERS NAVIGATE THE HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM. THE KEY STRATEGY OF HEALTH NAVIGATOR IS TO OFFER MEMBERS ACCESS TO A HEALTH NAVIGATOR CASE MANAGER 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK. THE PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE TEAM AND GHP, WORKING WITH THE MEMBER AT THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM, ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY TO OPTIMIZE HEALTH STATUS FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL AND TO MEET PRE-ESTABLISHED QUALITY, EFFICIENCY, AND MEMBER SATISFACTION OUTCOME TARGETS FOR THE PRACTICE POPULATION. PROVENCARE - CHRONIC DISEASE GEISINGER IDENTIFIED COMMON CHRONIC DISEASES (DIABETES, CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE) AND ADULT PREVENTION MEASURES (IMMUNIZATIONS, COLONOSCOPIES, ETC.). USING EVIDENCE-BASED BEST PRACTICES, CARE WAS "BUNDLED" TO INCLUDE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY MEETING 100% OF THE BUNDLE REQUIREMENTS, AS TRACKED OVER TIME. GEISINGER HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN MEETING THE BUNDLE REQUIREMENTS FOR DIABETES AND PREVENTIVE CARE FOR ADULTS. PROVENCARE - ACUTE EPISODIC CARE (THE "WARRANTY") BEGINNING WITH CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTS (CABG), THE PROCESS INCLUDES IDENTIFYING HIGH-VOLUME DIAGNOSIS-RELATED GROUPS (DRGS), DETERMINING BEST PRACTICE TECHNIQUES, AND DELIVERING EVIDENCE-BASED CARE.

TRANSITIONS OF CARE HELPING INDIVIDUALS TRANSITION FROM ONE LEVEL OF CARE TO ANOTHER, SUCH AS TRANSITIONING FROM THE HOSPITAL TO HOME, IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF ENSURING COMPREHENSIVE AND HIGH QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES. GEISINGER HAS ALIGNED RESOURCES AND IMPLEMENTED NEW STRATEGIES WITHIN THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS WITHIN PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY SETTINGS TO ANTICIPATE PATIENT NEEDS AND COORDINATE SERVICES TO ASSURE TIMELY AND SAFE TRANSITIONS. THESE NEW STRATEGIES HAVE INCORPORATED MORE TIMELY COMMUNICATION FROM THE HOSPITAL TO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, LEVERAGED DATA FROM THE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD AND CLAIMS TO IDENTIFY RISK, AND USED CASE MANAGERS TO PROVIDE EARLY FOLLOW UP SERVICES.
