Agile Edge’s Mission:
Enable health systems, especially those in rural and underserved communities, to improve their financial performance and societal impact. We achieve this by working with them to develop and deliver the appropriate mix of strategies and services, centered on transformative consumer/patient engagement, that will significantly improve individuals’ health status, self-reliance and well-being. These services will also contribute to enhancing the vitality of the communities they serve.
Our Approach:
Implement appropriate consumer-centric strategies for empowering individuals as healthcare consumers, improving the timeliness and quality of care delivered, and ensuring that the right care is delivered at the right time in the right place. These strategies include:
- Enabling individuals’ personal health mastery
- Facilitating collaboration among members of individuals’ care teams
- Coordinating and activating community health-management resources
Our Work:
We Serve as the General Manager or Joint Venture Partner to health systems to conduct opportunity assessments and then to design, build and manage a variety of initiatives and “utilities,” such as:
- Establishing participatory healthcare protocols for providers
- Implementing digital strategies for consumer engagement and education (consumer eHealth) − Embedding health and well-being into organizations’ corporate cultures
- Establishing and operating care management services organizations (CMSOs)
- Deploying mobile health professionals in communities
Our Value:
Delivering comprehensive health management services to high-needs individuals will be key to the future success of Medical Centers and Health Systems regardless of their corporate strategies.
- If focused on maximizing fee-for-service revenues and operating margins, then this can provide ways both to enhance economically sound use of existing capacity and to prosper from creating and deploying new capacity.
- If focused on managing risk for populations, then there are opportunities to turn care management operations from a cost center into a profit center.
An alliance with Agile Edge Health and its partners will provide a low-risk, tailored path toward successful implementation of comprehensive condition management services. We structure our initiatives to leverage existing infrastructure and address specific strategic objectives, in turn improving performance on key metrics of all types. Through self-sustaining iterative growth – “crawl, walk, run” – we create attractive economics for health organizations at all life stages.
