Conclusion

To become and remain economically viable

Our region must use our resources more efficientlyto improve health outcomes and cost

Barriers to be Addressed

• Fragmented system for Health Care Delivery

• Little Financial Incentive for Providers to perform Preventive Medicine / Disease Management

• Patient Education / Personal Responsibility

• 10-15% Uninsured with limited access

Tactical plan

To address health issues, we propose to provide technical capability and encourage clinical process improvement in the following areas:

1.Prescription Medication 2.Diagnostic (lab, imaging) Services3.Preventive Medicine (immunizations /

screenings)4.Chronic disease management

VisionTo be a world-class, quality-driven, clinically integrated, efficient

health and wellness system for the people of our region

MissionTo improve the health of people in Northeast

Tennessee and Southwest Virginia through the collaborative use of health information

Goals

Improve clinical practiceCoordinate clinical care

Personalize careImprove population health
