St. Johns, FL, July 21, 2023 - Florida Association of ACOs (FLAACOs), a ValueH organization and one of the leading voices for value-based care, announces Spatially Health, a cloud-based, health equity platform focused on identifying and addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) and health equity barriers, as its newest member.
Spatially Health’s Equity Equalizer™ uses technology to address challenges in health equity that influence an organization’s patients. The platform pinpoints specific obstacles to each patient's health equity and recommends tailored solutions to stimulate patient involvement and boost the effectiveness of healthcare management strategies, culminating in better health results.
“Spatially Health is committed to bridging the health equity divide and improving healthcare quality. Our partnership with FLAACOS will play an integral role in our advancement towards these objectives, with key partners,” said Hillit Meidar-Alfi, co-founder and CEO at Spatially Health.
“Every ACO’s goal is to drive costs down and quality up,” says Nicole Bradberry, CEO at the Florida Association of ACOs. “This requires real patient engagement to be successful. Without understanding the personal issues and barriers to the care of every individual this engagement isn’t possible. Spatially provides unique intel that allows providers to solve for these social determinants of health and/or health equity issues to really enhance patient engagement.”
Spatially Health is experiencing rapid growth and expansion, this year alone, the company has launched strategic partnerships with five key organizations using their Equity Equalizer™ platform to address SDOH. These partnerships include ACO Health Partners, in Jacksonville, Florida, Asaar Medical, a Boca Raton FL-based ACO Reach Organization, Pacific Private Practice Network, an MSSP ACO based in California, Shore Quality Partners, an ACO Reach Organization in New Jersey, and ilumed, an Accountable Care Organization REACH comprised of more than 2,600 physicians and 56,000 Medicare patients based in Jupiter, Florida.
The platform has undergone significant enhancements, now equipped to measure the cost implications of health barriers, meet CMS compliance standards, and offer advanced tools to mitigate risks and improve quality in the context of SDOH health barriers. Spatially Health will continue to work hand in hand with its partners to introduce these capabilities gradually and ensure that they are fully leveraged to achieve the shared goal of advancing health equity.
