Corporate Health Takes Heart Care to the Worker
ACO: A Tool to Manage Chronic Conditions In 2016, the Accountable Care Organization of Floyd Medical Center LLC was approved to participate in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Medicare Shared Savings Program. Accountable Care Organizations are designed to follow specific Medicare patient populations and to help them manage chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and its related diseases, preventing or reducing costly readmissions and providing better outcomes for compliant patients. Floyd participates in health fairs organized by the Northwest Georgia Regional Cancer Coalition, 100 Black Men of Rome and other entities, providing diabetes, wound care, high blood pressure, cholesterol and many other screenings free of charge or at cost, recognizing that a significant number of individuals do not have family physicians or routinely go for annual physical examinations. In 2017, 5,860 individuals received health information at health fairs at a cost to the organization of $14,268. In addition, diabetes educators provided education about prediabetes, diabetes management and other related topics to 1,655 individuals in 2017 at a cost to the organization of $4,046. Screenings Reach Thousands with Free Health Information
