Advantages of the Pennsylvania Pediatric Health Network LLC (PPHN)

Why join the network? The PPHN supports primary and specialty care groups manage the rapidly evolving landscape of health care.

Analytics to Improve Patient Care and Outcomes

The PPHN uses the analytical resources of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and member practices to:

• Reduce care fragmentation.
• Improve patient outcomes in the communities.
• Build the foundation for integrated care across the continuum.

Our excellence in analytics allows us to provide member groups with crucial value-adds, such as:

• Population-based risk stratification.
• Utilization management.
• Comprehensive clinical pathways plans.

Clinical Integration and Care Coordination

The PPHN helps streamline and improve the patient experience through the belief that the medical home is the center of effective care coordination.

As payment methods for care coordination evolve away from a per-member, per-month payment, network members are ready for this evolution.

Value-Based Contracting

Scale and scope are vital parts of value- and risk-based contracting.

The network possesses the scale and expertise to effectively address population health management through value-based contracting.
