US-based hospital and health care company Highlands Physicians (HPI) and Equality Health have announced a partnership to cater to the needs of diverse, rural, and other underrepresented populations.

The partnership is expected to improve patient and provider services at HPI’s primary care practices while providing assistance and resources to participating physicians as they navigate the transition to value-based care programmes.

Equality Health was selected by HPI after a thorough national search to help enhance provider satisfaction and patient care quality results.

Equality Health’s innovative programmes, such as its cultural care curriculum and behavioural health programmes, will improve HPI’s existing comprehensive model of care.

The supplementary resources provided by Equality Health are expected to help physician members better treat their complicated, high-risk patients.

HPI receives practice-facing tools, training, hands-on practise support, and a set of direct-to-patient therapeutic interventions from Equality Health.
