The PHSO will build off the expertise from CommonSpirit’s existing value-based programs, which include full Risk-Bearing Organizations (RBOs) and 10 Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) across the nation with a proven track record of success, and more than 2.6 million covered lives. Over the past five years of participation in the MSSP, CommonSpirit has saved Medicare more than $474 million by prioritizing proactive outreach and addressing not only medical, but also behavioral and social needs.

“We serve diverse communities that include Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance which means our data are more representative of America than other models primarily focused on commercial insurance. Coupled with our reach across 24 states, we can use the data and tools and access to a broad patient population to take on critical national health issues that require the size, scale and depth that we can deliver,” said Thomas McGinn, MD, MPH, Executive Vice President, Physician Enterprise at CommonSpirit Health. “For example, we can leverage data to understand patterns in testing, referrals, and treatment to develop interventions that reduce viral infections like Hepatitis C which disproportionately impact our most vulnerable populations.”
