Global research, technology, and consulting firm, The Advisory Board Company, recently highlighted Deaconess Health System’s successful Population Health Management initiatives.

The Advisory Board Company published a case study on the Deaconess High Risk Health Plan Beneficiary Program in their December 12th Advisory Board Daily Briefing. They also asked Heather Orth, Director of Accountable Care for Deaconess Health System, to present a webinar about our Comprehensive Diabetes Management Program for their thousands of healthcare clients.

“Developing and refining robust chronic conditions programs” is an essential part of the Health System’s strategic goals for the next two years. The High Risk Health Beneficiary Program and the Diabetes Management Program are just two examples of how Deaconess is embracing 21st Century healthcare and reducing medical costs for people with complex health conditions.
