About Emcara Health National Medical Group:
Our mission is simple leading the effort to reimagine how healthcare is delivered. Improving the lives of those most in need guides everything we do, and we believe that as we continue to stay focused on that compass heading we will increasingly be recognized as a leading national medical group providing in-home and virtual care for the most vulnerable seniors and adults.
Our care delivery model is proven. Emcara Health teams have been delivering excellent care for those most in need living in ethnically and geographically diverse communities. While delivering exceptional patient experience (enterprise wide NPS of 82), we lower the total cost of care (~20% across markets) by delivering more care, not less.
We have brought the same focus to the experience of our own team members as we have to our patients, and through the prioritization of provider experience, we have made the Quadruple Aim (patient focused care, at best value and lower cost, high quality performance, and tools provided for our clinical staff to do so) our clinical true north.
Emcara Health core care teams are multi-disciplinary and include Community Health Workers (CHW), Registered Nurses (RN), Advanced Practice Providers (APP- NP/PA), and complex care physicians (CCP). They are supported by outreach, care coordination, and specialized resources such as palliative care and psychiatric clinicians, as well as Social Workers (SW), Clinical Pharmacists, and Registered Dieticians (RD).
Our care teams provide comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social care to vulnerable senior and adult patients through virtual and direct in-home care.
Value-based payment methodologies allow our physicians and APPs both the time they need to restore the clinician-patient relationship, as well as ensure the patient and clinician are surrounded by a care team that is able to address additional care needs, such as their behavioral and social needs.
