Care Compass Network is a not-for-profit, community organization created to champion new models of providing Medicaid beneficiaries with higher quality care, while reducing expenses through care coordination and community-focused care and education.
Nearly 180 partner organizations, spanning a nine-county region, are working together as Care Compass Network. These partner organizations include major hospitals, nursing homes, behavioral health and substance abuse programs, as well as, social service agencies and similar entities.
This collaborative received planning dollars from the New York State Department of Health and has developed a comprehensive plan for expanding and improving healthcare delivery in the region. This program was started using money from the federal government to help healthcare organizations make the transition from traditional fee-for-service payment for their services to a new, pay-for-performance approach.
