Empowering Providers and Health Systems
Achieve greater financial stability, streamline operations, and drive innovation to deliver outstanding care for your patients.
Build Resiliency and Deliver Outstanding Care.
Providers and health systems are under increasing pressure. Pressure to manage shrinking margins, innovate care models, modernize technology, meet rising patient expectations, and address regulatory demands. Freed partners with healthcare provider organizations, complex health systems, and academic medical centers to understand your unique challenges to improve financial stability, operational efficiency and patient experience.
Provider and Health System Challenges and Opportunities.
Many patients face challenges accessing timely care due to provider shortages, reduced capacity, scheduling inefficiencies, and limited digital access. Freed can help you streamline your operations, optimize scheduling, expand virtual care capabilities, and assess AI opportunities to increase access and reduce delays in care.
Managing the shift to shared-risk and value-based care requires providers to align incentives, manage financial risk, and improve care coordination. Freed supports providers in implementing value-based contracts, enhancing care coordination, integrating SDOH data, and leveraging analytics to improve population health management and financial stability.
Health systems are struggling to meet rising consumer expectations. Easy access to personal health information and an overall positive experience with care providers, results in higher engagement and retention and better health outcomes. Freed consultants can help you implement strategies that enhance convenience and access, personalize patient interactions, and strengthen your care continuity.
