Today, the Alice L. Walton Foundation, Mercy, and Heartland Whole Health Institute announced a 30-year, $700 million affiliation agreement in a joint effort to expand access to health care, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes in the Heartland. Cleveland Clinic will collaborate, providing world-class cardiovascular expertise to the effort. The first phase of this project will include building a new cardiac care center of excellence on Mercy’s campus in Rogers, Arkansas, and resources for additional physician recruitment. “We believe that everyone deserves quality whole health care closer to home,” says philanthropist Alice Walton, founder of Heartland Whole Health Institute and the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine. “This powerful collaboration with Mercy and Cleveland Clinic will change the health care landscape in the Heartland, bringing together organizations that are dedicated to increasing quality, reducing costs, and making accessible, value-based care a reality.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/g9FJVpF3

- Community Health Worker Awareness Week | Team-based care provides patients access to an extended care team beyond the traditional care model in which an individual provider is responsible for care. Team-based approaches allow for non-clinicians such as CHWs to help patients move forward in their care journey, ultimately driving value for both providers and patients, including improving outcomes, expanding access, and reducing costs. By the numbers: A study in Philadelphia showed a greater than 10% reduction in hospital readmissions within 14 days for patients who received post discharge follow-up services from a CHW. This same study also showed that patients were 50% more likely to follow-up with a primary care provider within 14 days after hospital discharge (Arkansas Center for Health Improvement. 2014. “Community Health Workers: A Natural Fit.”).

Home - NACHW - National Association of Community Health Workers https://nachw.org - Community Health Worker Awareness Week | CHWs have a deep understanding of their community and its unique needs, as they typically live and work among the individuals they serve. Through shared life experiences, trust, compassion, culture and value alignment, this valuable relationship allows CHWs to serve as an effective liaison between patients, the community, and service providers. By the numbers: The American Medical Association found an average of 170,000insavingsforhealthcarefacilitiesforeveryCHWtheyemployed,aswellasasavingsof170,000 in savings for health care facilities for every CHW they employed, as well as a savings of 170,000insavingsforhealthcarefacilitiesforeveryCHWtheyemployed,aswellasasavingsof1,135 per patient who received services from a CHW (Source: American Medical Association, “How community health workers can help improve outcomes, cut costs,” 2020).
