Total cost of care measures quality, cost and customer experience and serves as a critical metric in value-based care. By effectively connecting care from preventive and primary to post-acute and home care, SWHR has innovated care delivery to evidence-based practices that improve outcomes at a lower cost. During the last three years, SWHR network providers maintained an average annual increase in healthcare costs to one-quarter of the regional average. In addition, our network hospitals have 7% higher quality scores than other hospitals and health systems in the region (CMS and USNR) while providing care to the most complex patient base in the state at competitive rates, according to several health plans.
