The TriHealth Advantage: Getting Healthcare Right
Good health is more than an absence of symptoms. It’s living your best life — the way you envision it. It empowers you to achieve what’s meaningful to you. The best way to achieve good health is to be proactive, and TriHealth is here to help you do that.
We believe delivering exceptional health care isn’t just treating you when you’re sick. We’re here for you when you’re well to help you feel your best. We do this by nurturing a strong relationship between you and your doctor — someone who cares for you and about you. It’s a connection with someone who listens and truly understands your preferences and needs. We strive to enhance your physical health and heal your human spirit.
At TriHealth, we see you and treat you as a person. We hear your concerns and recommend the best plan to support your health and well-being. You get personalized guidance, education and resources that make it easier to stay healthy. We’re here to empower you to feel your best.
Our Commitment to Your Health and Well-being
We stay on top of your health needs by guiding you through care, including:
- Ensuring you’re getting age-, gender- and health-appropriate screenings to keep you healthy
- Keeping you up to date on immunizations, such as flu vaccines
- Educating you about ongoing conditions, such as arthritis or high blood pressure, to let you manage your health confidently
- Understanding any challenges that prevent you from taking care of yourself and connecting you with resources to help
- Anticipating changes in health needs and helping you prepare for them
- Providing well-connected care among providers, making it easier to access the services you need
By keeping you healthy, it’s less likely you’ll need to visit the emergency room or see a specialist. That not only lowers your health care costs, but it enhances your well-being at every life stage. We’re able to deliver more efficient, higher quality care that enhances your health care experience.
Everyone Deserves Great Care
We’re committed to breaking down barriers that stand between you and achieving your best health. We do this through our well-connected, supportive care team that’s focused on keeping you well. Your doctor works closely with specialists, nurses, social workers, dietitians, therapists and support staff to ensure you can access care that lets you achieve the best outcome possible.
Whether you need assistance getting to and from your appointments, education on a chronic condition, or help with legal or financial problems, we help you overcome challenges that prevent you from feeling your best.
Our commitment extends to supporting health in underserved communities.
We work with various Cincinnati organizations to:
- Decrease infant mortality
- Deliver primary health care to uninsured adults in Hamilton County
- Provide essential supplies and guidance for new parents
- Offer preventive screenings and diagnostic mammograms
- Reduce food insecurity and improve access to healthy foods
- Promote student athletes’ well-being
And This Work is Making a Big Difference
Today, nearly half of the 600,000 people who regularly receive care at TriHealth are in some form of a value-based payment arrangement. This means TriHealth works to keep people in our community healthy with preventative efforts, which leads to better care and lower costs. Here is some of what we’ve achieved nearly eight years into our journey to transform health care for the better:
Care in the Right Setting: TriHealth operates the largest network of ambulatory campuses and today provides more than 98% of all patient encounters in the outpatient setting where care is less expensive and more accessible. Why is the size of our network important? It means that no matter where you live or work in Cincinnati, TriHealth is nearby — making it easier for you to get the care you need.
More Preventive Care: TriHealth patients in value-based contracts are significantly more likely than the average patient to be screened for breast and colon cancer – enabling us to detect disease at earlier, more treatable stages. In fact, last year, United Health Care recognized TriHealth as one of the top 10 best-performing Accountable Care Organization (ACO) in the nation for early cancer detection.
Slowing the Cost Curve: According to our payer partners and independent, third-party brokers, the total cost of care at TriHealth for value-based patients cared for in our system is 10% to 15% lower than the market. This is because we have proactively worked with physicians to shift care to the least costly site of service. The right care is increasingly preventive and outpatient care.
Better Chronic Condition Management: TriHealth significantly outperforms national benchmarks in terms of diabetes and hypertension management, meaning our patients are healthier, care is safer and more accessible, and services are more affordable.
