Health Quality Partners (HQP)

Health Quality Partners (HQP) is a not-for-profit organization that does R&D on new models of health care to enhance the effectiveness of preventive interventions and improve population health. This approach can lower the overall cost of health care for higher risk populations. This has already been convincingly demonstrated among higher risk chronically ill older adults. As tested within the Medicare Coordinated Care Demonstration and with Aetna, HQP’s model of Community-based Advanced Preventive Care, significantly reduced hospitalizations, deaths, and total Part A & B Medicare expenditures. HQP is now inviting organizations to consider becoming strategic partners and early adopters of our model. The general concept of preventive care services is not new, but a systematic program that reliably delivers a robust set of such services to higher-risk subgroups resulting in better population health and lower health care costs is a breakthrough innovation. If your organization appreciates the relative advantage this innovation offers and feels it is compatible with your culture and mission, contact us. Your organization might be a good candidate to be an early adopter. We anticipate that in 2022 we'll also invite organizations with whom we collaborate to begin designing a learning network to accelerate applied R&D for population health management - think 'users group'​, but with shared research, analytical, and design capabilities. With the availability of HQP's new System as a Service (SPERO®), and Replication Consultancy, we can help organizations anywhere in the world implement our proven program for chronically ill older adults on a large scale, as well as embark on new R&D work to innovate programs for other vulnerable populations. For all of its initiatives, HQP uses a disciplined framework for program design and implementation based on key design principles; person-centered, population-relevant, robust, reliable, accountable, anticipatory.
