CARY, NC, and HAMPTON, VA (PRWEB) September 29, 2016 -- The Central Virginia Coalition of Healthcare Providers (CVCHiP), an Accountable Care Organization providing services in Virginia and North Carolina, has selected Smartlink Mobile Systems as their Chronic Care Management (CCM) solution partner.

Our goal as an ACO is to...help small practices continue to do what they love, and at the same time succeed financially under MACRA. Smartlink’s Value-Based CCM is a critical part of our strategy...

Post this

With 93% of Medicare dollars spent on beneficiaries who have multiple chronic illnesses, providing more proactive care management services to this population has become critical to success under payment reform. Smartlink will provide CVCHiP with their comprehensive Value-Based CCM solution that will help the ACO’s providers deliver consistent, high quality care, improve quality measures, identify opportunities for early clinical intervention to prevent health deterioration, and reduce utilization of healthcare services by keeping beneficiaries healthier. The solution is uniquely designed to help clinicians leverage CCM to improve utilization and quality performance measures under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA).

MACRA is a bipartisan legislation that changes how Medicare pays those who provide care to Medicare beneficiaries. It is intended to accelerate the shift from fee-for-service to fee-for-value by rewarding clinicians for providing better care at a lower cost. The Medicare CCM program is intended to help providers make the transition to value-based care by paying providers to provide monthly, non-face-to-face services to beneficiaries with two or more chronic illnesses. In addition to incentivizing better care management, the CCM program helps to subsidize the necessary investments to succeed under MACRA.

“All of our practices are small practices that love providing care on a more personal level,” said Lerla G. Joseph, MD, CEO and Chair, CVCHiP. “Our goal as an ACO is to bring to the table the expertise to help these small practices continue to do what they love, and at the same time succeed financially under MACRA. Smartlink’s Value-Based CCM is a critical part of our strategy to achieve that goal.”

“MACRA represents a number of challenges, but for organizations such as CVCHiP that are doing all the right things, it also represents tremendous opportunity,” said Siu Tong, CEO, Smartlink. “Maintaining the vitality of independent practices is a goal that we share, and we are very excited to work with the CVCHiP team towards that end.”

About Central Virginia Coalition of Healthcare
Central Virginia Coalition of Healthcare Providers, LLC (CVCHiP) is a Medicare Shared Savings Program Track 1 Accountable Care Organization approved in December 2015. Its service area spans central and tidewater Virginia and northeast North Carolina. CVCHiP is made up principally of independent, small medical practices. Its mission is “to provide patient-centric, integrative, collaborative and value-based health care to its Medicare A&B patients, and all patients it serves, while maintaining the dignity of each person, patient and provider in an environment that sustains the independent physician practice.” It is physician-owned and physician-governed. CVCHiP offers a viable alternative to the small medical practice that desires to maintain autonomy and remain competitive in delivering value-based healthcare.

About Smartlink Mobile Systems
Smartlink Mobile Systems is an innovator in value-based healthcare solutions aimed at chronic disease management. Smartlink’s Value-Based Chronic Care Management (CCM) solution is designed to optimize clinical and financial outcomes of Medicare’s CCM program, and at the same time leverage CCM to directly impact performance on utilization and targeted quality measures under all MACRA payment models (ACO’s or MIPS). Smartlink’s unique approach to patient enrollment, operational efficiency, electronic collaboration, and guided care management enables clinical services outsourcing organizations to efficiently coordinate care with their client clinics and provide the highest quality of care to the patients they serve. For clinics, Smartlink provides the flexibility to deploy CCM with our software only using internal staff, opt for a turnkey services solution, or something in between.
