A Lack of Coordination & Integration
A Crisis in Healthcare
Our Healthcare System
• Costs $7,000/person, twice as much as other industrialized countries spend to cover every citizen
• 30% of dollars and up to half of doctors and nurses time spent on paperwork
• Only 1/3 of time is evidence-based medicine practiced
• Healthcare costs to businesses up 140% in the last 10 years, 5x wage growth
• But primary care real incomes are down

QuadMed Strategy
• Provide onsite primary care & selected specialty care
• Focus on prevention and wellness
• Restructure the delivery of primary care– Focus on patient centered care– Salaried providers, not “production” based reimbursement– Incentives based on quality – customer satisfaction, adherence to guidelines,
preventive services, collegiality, committee participation– Provide ample “face time” with patients– Provide resources supporting quality care
• Provide specialty care & hospital care through direct contracting “Narrow Networks”
• Remove waste and improve quality - LEAN
• Integrate workers’ compensation into primary care services
