“Advanced primary care requires a committed team and a trusted source of data to understand our patients and track our performance. We have achieved much at MHMG in a short period of time because all members of the staff are actively participating in data-driven practice redesign.”

“It is critical to keep track of who the patients are and where they are at with their health. We’ve started analyzing at a basic level, looking at utilization trends — both through emergency room use and hospital admissions.”

“The question we asked ourselves about ACOs was, ‘If not us, who?’ We really felt like the capabilities we had been honing over the last 20 years put us in a good position in this arena.”
