A New Way of Working with Practitioners and Providers

Individuals and families look to their healthcare practitioners and providers for advice, insight and the fundamental supports they need to pursue wellness and recovery. So do we.

OptumHealth propels system change through partnerships with local healthcare professionals. Together, we build upon their wealth of community knowledge and resources, enhancing these with innovative clinical and service approaches. Along the way, we use our advanced technological and administrative systems to help reduce managerial burden, streamline information sharing and ensure prompt, accurate payment, even when there are multiple funding streams.

From primary care physicians to community mental health centers, OptumHealth has programs to:

• Enlist positive feedback and dialogue, including personal consults with respected peers and timely information on individual health status, co-morbidities and service use.
• Engage providers who want to develop and deliver new services that improve both their clinical practice and their organizational stability.
• Encourage provider participation in clinical and program advisory boards and community processes to identify and fill gaps in the system of care.
• Provide comprehensive resources that support the delivery of evidence-based medicine, including:
  • Clinical alerts on treatment gaps for specific individuals.
  • 24-hour physician and psychiatric consultation.
  • Comprehensive, free online and onsite training programs.
  • CME credits
