A smarter, more coordinated system of care requires collaboration among private practice physicians, employed physicians, other practitioners and health systems. Our physician-led national provider organization, known as Ascension Medical Group, is a key component in helping Ascension achieve the quadruple aim: the best possible outcomes, enhanced experience for those we serve, enhanced experience for providers, and affordable care.

Building a smarter network requires an integrated approach that optimizes healthcare for each person.

Ascension Medical Group has adopted a clinical care model that:

• Utilizes the strength of a care team that supports our providers’ and our patients’ needs through seamless care delivery; transitions of care; disease management; and case management
• Promotes communication, coordination and standardization
• Provides persons what they need, when they need it, where they need it, with improved health outcomes at an affordable cost
