Business Wire
Integrated and coordinated clinic program
between Healthcare Clinic at select Walgreens and Centura Health to
give patients greater access to care
Centura Health, the region’s leading health care network, and
Walgreens (NYSE: WAG) (Nasdaq: WAG) today announced a clinical
collaboration agreement that will provide coordinated and expanded
health care services, while improving access to high-quality,
convenient and affordable care for patients throughout Colorado’s
Front Range.
Centura Health will work with Healthcare Clinic at select
Walgreens to handle serious conditions outside of the Healthcare
Clinics’ scope of services, and will help collaboratively manage
the treatment of patients with chronic diseases. The collaboration
will include direct communication between Centura Health providers,
including Colorado Health Neighborhoods, Centura Health’s
clinically integrated network, and Healthcare Clinic nurse
practitioners to facilitate care coordination and sharing of
patient information, and enhanced awareness of Healthcare Clinic at
select Walgreens and the Centura Health network.
Healthcare Clinic providers are able to help monitor, manage and
support Centura Health patients with diabetes, asthma,
hyperlipidemia and hypertension. While Walgreens and Healthcare
Clinic strongly encourage all patients to have a designated medical
home for ongoing needs, the collaboration will provide the patients
of Centura Health access to quality, non-emergent care seven days a
week, with or without an appointment.
“This clinical collaboration further supports our strategic
efforts to expand our Total Health Solution to consumers. Centura
Health and the Healthcare Clinic at select Walgreens will promote
quality care through evidence-based medicine and best practices,
and increase convenience through multiple access points, within a
service-friendly environment, at an affordable cost,” said Gary
Campbell, Centura Health’s president and CEO. “Working
hand-in-hand, this coordinated care model enables us to carry out
our combined vision to deliver optimal health care value and
support population health management. The result is more people get
the right care, at the right time, in the right place, for the
right price.”
With the Affordable Care Act bringing millions of newly insured
patients into the health care system, the relationship aims to help
address some of the needs and challenges facing both patients and
providers.
“Healthcare Clinics are playing an important role in enhancing
patient access to quality, convenient and affordable care, and
serve as a cost-effective alternative to emergency rooms for
non-emergent care,” said Alan E. London, chief medical officer,
Consumer Solutions Group, Walgreens. “The health care system today
is facing myriad challenges, and this collaboration enables our
nurse practitioners and physician assistants to further coordinate
patient care in these communities, working closely with primary
care physicians and others to help more people get, stay and live
well.”
