Partnership Between Affiliated Network Providers and Aurora Behavioral Health
Affiliated Network Providers (ANP) and Aurora Behavioral Health, in collaboration with Alera Health, have launched an exciting partnership aimed at enhancing behavioral health care services for those in need. By signing the High Value Collaborator (HVC) agreement, these organizations are dedicated to significantly improving the quality of care and coordination for members facing behavioral health challenges.
Objectives of the Partnership
This partnership is centered around several important goals that focus on delivering effective care and improving patient outcomes.
Improving Access and Service Delivery
Through this collaboration, electronic referrals will be streamlined using the Alera Health Care Optimization Suite (COS). This ensures that members have prioritized access to the care they need. The aim is to simplify the process for patients to connect with services while also reducing the likelihood of crises through effective navigation and alerts.
Innovative Approaches to Care Delivery
From the initial assessment, both organizations will work together to identify the most appropriate clinical pathways for treatment. By addressing social barriers that may impede care, ANP plans to offer transitional support for members after discharge. This is a crucial step in minimizing the risk of readmission and facilitating a smoother recovery process.
Enhancing Health Outcomes Through Care Coordination
Alera Health will provide timely updates on any care gaps and risk factors to improve overall health outcomes. This critical information will enable ANP and Aurora to implement comprehensive interventions across medical, social, and behavioral health domains, ultimately aiming to reduce reliance on emergency services and acute hospital care.
Commitment to Quality Care
Both Affiliated Network Providers and Aurora Behavioral Health are committed to upholding high standards of care. Their shared goal is to deliver effective and compassionate treatments that address the unique needs of each member, fostering an inclusive approach to health and recovery.
