Strategic Partnerships

Strong strategic partnerships position organizations as leaders and innovators. Partnerships reinforce the organization’s mission and values through engagement in community networks, affiliations with other organizations and collaborative relationships with service providers and businesses in the broader community.

Do we engage in partnerships and collaborations with other organizations to study, develop and offer new service/care models and practices to improve the quality of aging services and care? 

Are we part of community networks with other providers of care and services to mitigate silos and to enhance successful transitions between care settings in the community?

Is our organization aware of its role as a post-acute/long-term care organization with respect to participation in an accountable care organization (ACO) and are we aware of how to position our organization for a future of integrated healthcare? 

Do we pursue business ventures with partners that have the knowledge, expertise and capacity to improve the services we provide to residents and clients, or services that support our organization? 

Is our organization part of a health information exchange (HIE) to facilitate access to data about our residents/clients electronically across organizations within our region, community or nearby hospital systems?

Are we receptive to exploring a partial or full affiliation or merger if it would ensure that our residents and our clients would continue to receive the care and the services they need?
