Ascension Florida and Gulf Coast and Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company have partnered to develop a platform for musculoskeletal care in northeast Florida, according to a press release.
The addition of Ascension Florida and Gulf Coast to the standing partnership of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists and Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company (HOPCo) will allow for the creation of innovative outpatient care programs, a network of physician practices, ASCs and the region’s first orthopedic specialty hospital, according to the release.
“After partnering with HOPCo earlier this year, the creation of a clinically integrated network with a top-tier health system was our first area of focus and we could not have a better partner than Ascension Florida and Gulf Coast,” Donnie Romine, CEO of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists, said in the release.
This clinically integrated network is designed to streamline care, lower patient and provider costs and improve outcomes.
“At end of the day, this is about bringing together all musculoskeletal providers — hospitals, physicians, ambulatory surgery centers — into one highly integrated network and delivering quality and value to the community as we have done with partners in many regions,” DeLyle Manwaring, executive vice president of health systems for HOPCo, said in the release. “We are honored to work with these two organizations to build the next generation of transformative musculoskeletal care for the patients of northern Florida,” he added.
“Our mission is to provide clinically excellent, compassionate, personalized care to all people, with special attention to those who are struggling the most,” Tom VanOsdol, president and CEO of Ascension Florida and Gulf Coast, said in the release. “This partnership represents a quantum leap forward in our goal to increase access to the finest available musculoskeletal care for those we are so blessed to serve,” he said.
