Health is about so much more than medical care.
Our well-being also depends on the food we eat, the environments we live in, the jobs we hold and what resources and opportunities are readily available.
At MetroHealth, we are tackling not only the issues that affect the health of our community, we are working to fix the root causes of those problems as well.
MetroHealth’s Population Health Innovation Institute is helping revolutionize the clinically integrated delivery methods, and the engagement and experience of patients. We are leading the way in developing and improving value-based coordination beyond treating symptoms and ailments to early on prevent or minimize medical conditions.
With these exciting care models, we are fulfilling the needs of our patients and improving outcomes -- all while lowering costs and improving efficiency.
The Population Health Innovation Institute is eager to share our successes as we collaborate to accelerate the transformation of health in our community.
Our multidisciplinary approach to optimizing value-based care is driven by:

People
Everyone including patients, providers and professionals at MetroHealth play a role in understanding and defining how we can enhance health care . . . change is healthy.
Data + Knowledge
Analyzing, measuring and understanding data to optimize the way we provide care to patients and operate as a hospital and employer.
