Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Ohio president, TriHealth CEO share how their partnership aims to help fix a broken system

Health systems across the country, including Cincinnati’s TriHealth, have begun collaborating with payer partners in an effort to reform ineffective payment models. Such partnerships aim to advance population health strategies and incentivize providers for more comprehensive and preventive care.  

TriHealth’s partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Ohio is designed to “put in place more progressive, innovative payment systems that reward health, that reward prevention, that reward providing care and delivering care in the right place at the right time to produce the right clinical outcomes at the right cost,” Mark Clement, TriHealth CEO said in this episode of Getting Health Care Right.
