The Aledade Policy Institute is joining the National Association of ACOs for our annual Hill Day today where our partners are advocating for ways to advance value-based care. We'll be sharing how physician-led accountable care organizations are transforming health care delivery and improving patient outcomes nationwide. Together, we're making the case for policies that help primary care practices and FQHCs thrive while delivering high-quality, affordable care.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' 2024 results for the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) show that Aledade accountable care organizations (ACOs) saved Medicare more than $1 billion - nearly 20% of MSSP's entire savings for the year - by improving the quality of care and patient outcomes.
This week, Aledade appointed two national health experts to our Board of Directors - Shawn Guertin and Joneigh S. Khaldun, MD, MPH, FACEP. "Adding their expertise and proven track records delivering impactful results will help us advance our mission to create value-based care that is good for patients, practices and society," shared Farzad Mostashari, co-founder and CEO of Aledade.
Aledade was proud to participate in and present at the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) conference earlier this week. As a committed partner to CHCs nationwide, we're inspired by the innovative solutions and collaborative spirit we witnessed as these organizations work to build stronger, healthier communities. #CHIexpo25
Last week was National Health Center Week, and Aledade honored our incredible CHC partners nationwide. From improving access to preventive care to supporting local communities, we are proud to support our CHC partners who are making a real difference every day. Thank you to all the dedicated community health center teams making this vital work possible.
Congratulations to Dr. Angeli Akey, founder of Aledade partner practice North Florida Integrative Medicine, on being recognized as a leader by the Florida Medical Association (FMA) for outstanding service to the medical profession and public. Dr. Akey exemplifies the dedication to excellence that makes our value-based care partnerships so successful. Pictured are Dr. Akey (right) with Dr. Maureen E. O'Hara Padden, a FMA county delegate and Aledade regional medical director.
Casey Korba, Aledade's senior director of policy, shares insights on what recent health policy activity means for primary care organizations and value-based care. From H.R. 1, to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed changes in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the proposed physician fee schedule, there's a lot to unpack in the policy landscape.
Aledade is proud to announce the appointment of our new Chief Technology Officer, Lalith Vadlamannati. "Lalith's extensive experience as a technology leader and his groundbreaking work in AI-driven health care solutions make him the perfect fit to guide our tech vision moving forward," said Farzad Mostashari, Aledade co-founder and CEO.
Aledade is honored to be named a Top Workplace by The Washington Post for the 6th consecutive year. This recognition, based on anonymous employee feedback, is a testament to our talented workforce's dedication and passion for improving health care. Thank you to our incredible team for making Aledade a top place to work!
Aledade recently held our second Tennessee and Virginia Community Health Center (CHC) Summit, an important gathering to share resources and learnings with some of the nearly 300 CHCs we partner with. These clinicians and organizations are vital to the health care system nationwide, and we are proud to offer the support they need to thrive in value-based care.
