The Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA) has recognized HealthCare Partners as a top-performing California medical group for the past six years, based on our performance in clinical quality, patient care experience, and use of information technology in patient care. The IHA is a not-for-profit, statewide healthcare collaborative that seeks to improve the quality of healthcare provided by California physicians through special projects, policies, and education.
HealthCare Partners was one of only five medical groups honored in the Los Angeles area. The other four were Pioneer Medical Group, UCLA Medical Group, Cedars-Sinai Medical Group, and Southern California Permanente Medical Groups.
To determine top scorers, IHA compared 225 California physician groups that represent 35,000 physicians statewide, who care for 10.5 million patients. HealthCare Partners scored in the top 20 percent of California physician groups on performance measures that include clinical quality measures (cancer screenings, immunizations, diabetes care, etc.), patient satisfaction measures (timely access to care, doctor-patient communication, etc.), and use of health information technology systems that support clinical decision-making and promote evidence-based care.
HealthCare Partners was one of nine innovative healthcare companies to have been named a finalist in the Adaptive Business Leader (ABL) organization's 2010 Innovations in HealthcareSM 12th Annual ABBY Awards. These awards honor companies that have proven ways to lower the cost of providing quality healthcare through their innovative approaches to the delivery of healthcare, or medical or information/telecommunications technology.
