WEST PLAINS, MO – Ozarks Healthcare has joined 23 other independent Missouri hospitals to form the Show-Me High Value Network, a statewide collaboration designed to strengthen participating hospitals individually while improving health care quality, affordability and value in the communities they serve.
We are always looking for ways to strengthen the care we provide to the communities we serve,” Terence Farrell, Ozarks Healthcare President and CEO, said. “Joining the Show-Me High Value Network gives us an opportunity to collaborate with other health care organizations across Missouri while continuing to focus on what matters most: providing high-quality, accessible care close to home. This partnership will benefit our patients, providers and entire community while allowing us to maintain the local focus that is at the heart of Ozarks Healthcare.”
The cornerstone of the network is a clinically integrated network, or CIN, designed to expand the
value of care. The network provides a framework for hospitals and providers to collaborate on
quality improvement, care coordination, data sharing and value-based care to the benefit of more
than 1.8 million Missourians served by hospitals in the network.
Ozarks Healthcare will engage with network members on committees focused on the quality and value
of care. Through this work, participants will benefit from systems that enhance quality and care
coordination while reducing administrative burdens for providers. The committees also will
develop a common set of quality measures, and lead implementation of a clinical data-sharing
platform to support the members’ work with insurers on value-based care arrangements and best
practices.
Additionally, the network will establish a committee of operational leaders to share best practices,
discuss opportunities and challenges, and identify strategies to improve efficiency across member
organizations.
While participants will collaborate through the Show-Me High Value Network, each hospital
remains independent and locally governed. The network is designed to provide the advantages
of scale and shared resources without requiring hospitals to give up local decision-making.
Additional services will be optional for participants and available where engagement best fits
their local needs.
