How Universal Health Services Accountable Care Organizations Optimize Value and Outcomes with Data

Executive Summary

Universal Health Services (UHS) is one of the country’s largest hospital management companies, with more than 350 acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities, and ambulatory centers across the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.K., and sponsors seven Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) across the nation through Prominence Health Plan.

UHS ACOs have partnered with CareJourney, over the last several years, to build better and more optimized networks using claims data and insights from CareJourney’s Network Advantage platform.

This whitepaper includes excerpts from a recent joint webinar that focused on how UHS ACOs are leveraging CareJourney to achieve four major objectives around:

• Market expansion: Building provider and facility networks
• Engaging community clinicians: Building relationships with community providers to enhance quality of care
• Empowering hospital leadership: Helping hospitals understand their market share and opportunities in a broader context
• Expanding to new value-based contracts beyond MSSP: Leveraging data to succeed in new risk-based contracts for additional population
