Emory Healthcare Taps Kyruus to Improve Operational Efficiency, Patient Experience 

Emory Healthcare, the clinical arm of Emory University, and Kaiser Permanente, today announced a new collaboration to develop a new integrated care model that provides Kaiser Permanente members with a fully integrated health care experience, and in the process advances patient- and family-centered care in metro Atlanta and beyond. As part of the collaboration, Emory University Hospital Midtown and Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital will become the primary hospitals for Kaiser Permanente physicians and members.

Both organizations anticipate caring for Kaiser Permanente members at Emory University Hospital Midtown and Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital in October 2018. Throughout the next several months of implementing the agreement, Kaiser Permanente will focus on ensuring its patients continue to receive seamless, high-quality, affordable care.

The two organizations, including their physician and clinical leadership, will also work to improve community health, address health care disparities, make health care more affordable, and enhance education for skilled and compassionate healthcare professionals. The agreement commits both organizations to create an integrated care and coverage model for Kaiser Permanente members at Emory University Hospital Midtown and Emory Saint Joseph’sHospital. In anticipation of this agreement, Kaiser Permanente has provided a capital contribution toward expansion of  both hospitals to accommodate the new and existing patients while maintaining outstanding quality, service and access.

Other key highlights of the collaboration include:

– The collaboration will include development of infrastructure and joint capacity planning, and the implementation of collaborative processes on physician staffing, enhanced technology, care coordination, active engagement of patients and families, and ongoing evaluation of performance measures.

– The Southeast Permanente Medical Group (TSPMG) physicians, who care for Kaiser Permanente members, will treat their patients at Emory University Hospital Midtown and Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital. These physicians will oversee their members’ care experience with active engagement of Kaiser Permanente’s care managers and with support from Emory providers.

– Kaiser Permanente will maintain some existing service affiliations, including labor and delivery services, which will continue to be provided at Northside Hospital.

– Emory Healthcare will continue its existing relationships with all of its affiliated health plans and will continue to serve their members and all existing patients without a change in service or access. 

“This unique collaboration will combine the highly complementary strengths of Kaiser Permanente and Emory Healthcare, both of which have rich histories in medical excellence, exceptional service, research and quality,” says Jim Simpson, Georgia President, Kaiser Permanente. “Our joint focus will be to create a premier, integrated care and coverage model committed to improving health and affordability for our members, and better addressing health disparities, while working collaboratively to increase the number of people and communities who benefit from what our organizations can accomplish together.”
