KANSAS
CITY, Mo., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- ServiamCareNetwork, through its Value-Based Care Alliance,
is excited to announce BickfordSeniorLiving has joined the
Value-Based Care Alliance of Virginia to introduce an innovative
value-based care health model to its Virginia communities. This collaboration aims
to enhance the quality of care for senior residents while improving
health outcomes and reducing costs.
By joining Serviam's Value-Based Care Alliance of Virginia, Bickford
Senior Living can participate in a value-based care system
without needing its capital, relationships, or density of lives
needed in a value-based care model. The partnership will combine
Serviam's expertise in value-based care with Bickford Senior Living's commitment to
exceptional senior care. Together, they will integrate Serviam's
HigherPathâ„¢ Operating System through the Alliance, tailored to
the unique needs of seniors, ensuring a higher standard of
personalized, efficient, and effective care.
"Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It's a
sick-care system, not a healthcare system designed to keep seniors
healthy. Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels
too big and complex to change. Not us. We're taking the road less
traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care," said
Andy Eby, CEO of Bickford Senior Living. "By partnering with
Serviam's Value-Based Care Alliance, we are taking a significant
step towards revolutionizing senior care in Virginia. Our residents deserve the best
possible care, and this partnership will ensure they receive the
right care at the right time."
Since joining the Value-Based Care Alliance of Virginia, Bickford
Senior Living has observed remarkable improvements,
including a 55% decrease in falls with injury, a 10% decrease in
weekly ER visits, and zero medication errors. These outcomes
highlight the effectiveness of the value-based care model in
enhancing resident safety and health.
The value-based care model focuses on preventive care, disease
management, and coordinated health services, which enhances the
quality of life for residents and contributes to overall cost
savings by reducing hospital readmissions and emergency room
visits.
"Bickford Senior Living is a
Founding Member of Serviam Care Network, and our missions have
always been aligned to transform the way that America cares for
seniors," said Tim Donnelly, CEO of
Serviam Care Network."Through the Value-Based Care Alliance, we
will create a healthcare environment that promotes wellness,
independence, and dignity for all residents."
Bickford Senior Living has long
been a leader in senior care, known for its dedication to providing
a nurturing and supportive environment for its residents. This
partnership is a testament to Bickford's ongoing commitment to
innovation and excellence in senior living.
