Orlando Health Network Celebrates Major Milestones in Healthcare Savings and Service Expansion
The Orlando Health Network has recently reported an impressive figure of over $495 million in healthcare savings since it kicked off its operations in 2013. This remarkable accomplishment showcases the network’s commitment to enhancing care quality and accessibility for residents in Central and West Florida.
Innovative Care Models and Data Insights
The network has released the Clinically Integrated Network Value Report 2024, which dives deep into its innovative care models and advanced technology. This report serves as a detailed account of how the network has navigated the evolving healthcare landscape while ensuring effective patient outcomes.
In 2024, a series of new initiatives have been launched, aiming to improve healthcare services for around 340,000 patients. With nearly 7,000 multispecialty providers backing these services, the network is working harder than ever to provide top-notch care.
Expansions and New Partnerships
Dr. Martin Soto, Chairman of Orlando Health Network, emphasized the growth of the network, revealing its expansion not just within Florida but also into regions like Puerto Rico and Alabama. Residents in these new locations can look forward to the same level of care that Orlando Health is known for.
One of the standout innovations has been the introduction of the STAR Outpatient Centers, launched in 2023. These centers are designed for post-hospitalization care and medication management, focusing on reducing unnecessary visits to emergency departments.
Bringing Healthcare to Your Home
For those who prefer the comfort of their homes, 2024 has also seen the expansion of telemedicine options. This allows patients to receive care virtually, making it easier for many to access the healthcare they need without the added stress of travel.
Looking ahead, the STAR Centers are set to roll out even more services, including diagnostic solutions and the administration of intravenous medications such as fluids and antibiotics. This is great news for patients needing convenient and comprehensive care!
Caring for Seniors
In a significant move towards supporting the senior population, Orlando Health has formed a joint venture with InnovAge through the national PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. The newly established InnovAge co-branded center in Central Florida aims to offer a wide range of services, including primary healthcare, transportation, social engagement, therapy, in-home care, and nutritional support for seniors who are enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid.
Commitment to Community Impact
With a sizable integrated academic healthcare system boasting assets worth $12 billion, Orlando Health has made a significant impact on the community. During fiscal year 2023, the network’s community impact totaled nearly $1.7 billion, which included various community benefit programs and capital investments.
At the heart of Orlando Health is its mission to improve health and quality of life for the individuals and communities it serves. Recent changes to its executive team include the addition of three new senior vice presidents, poised to guide the network’s future strategies and operations effectively.
Looking Ahead: New Acquisitions
In an exciting development, Orlando Health has signed an agreement to purchase Tenet Healthcare’s majority interest in Brookwood Baptist Health, with plans to close the deal in fall 2024. Once completed, Brookwood Baptist Health will be rebranded as Baptist Health under Orlando Health’s management. This partnership aims to uplift the healthcare services available in Alabama, ensuring they meet the local community’s needs effectively.
As Orlando Health continues to grow and adapt, the residents of Central and West Florida can feel reassured that they are in good hands when it comes to their healthcare needs.
