Strategies used by CaroMont Health to improve quality, decrease cost, and increase operational efficiency have ultimately aligned our system to address the present and future challenges confronting healthcare. Beginning with To Err is Human (Institute of Medicine 1999) and continuing with the healthcare reform bill of 2010, CaroMont Health has responded to challenges by striving to provide excellent patient care in a cost-effective manner. In this journey, CaroMont has discovered several key success factors essential in navigating this transformation. Our strategies reinforce the fact that improved quality and patient outcomes will ultimately reduce overall healthcare costs. In an ongoing collaboration with the Premier healthcare alliance, CaroMont Health has evolved from focusing on process metrics to delivering value-based care. CaroMont is now positioned to enter the new world of value-based delivery leading to accountability for community health.
