The outcomes are better performance, better quality of life, increased productivity, and lower costs.

- Shared Services—We actively pursue opportunities for our healthcare members to realize direct savings through coordinated purchase and logistic decisions.
- Value Based Payment—We are accelerating the shift from volume-based, fee-for-service payment to a value-based payment method. This method better supports provider performance. It rewards healthcare providers for their quality and efficiency—helping to reduce unnecessary spending—benefiting everyone!
