Why Join a Care Transformation Organization?
By Rachel Smith, HCDI Chief Program Officer
A Care Transformation Organization (CTO) is a healthcare organization that focuses on transforming the way healthcare is delivered to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. It takes a comprehensive approach to healthcare that goes beyond just treating individual health problems and instead focuses on managing a population of patients’ overall health and well-being.
Despite the U.S. healthcare system spending more on healthcare than any other country, ongoing concerns about quality and equity of healthcare post-COVID-19 have been spotlighted. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) cites 90% of the nation’s $4.1 trillion in annual health care expenditures are for individuals with chronic and mental health conditions.
Social determinants of health (SDoH) such as housing instability, food insufficiency and others have an impact on physical health as well as mental health. Increased stress, poor nutrition, exposure to environmental hazards, risk of injuries, difficulty accessing healthcare and healthy food, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder can all culminate from various health inequities.
