What is GRIPA Connect™ Clinical Integration?

GRIPA Connect™ Clinical Integration is a unique quality- and cost-improvement program built by local physicians to help employers reign in health care costs without sacrificing quality. 

We are attentive to our customers, use data & technology to identify opportunities, engage individuals to improve their health, collaborate with physicians, promote best practices, and transparently report our progress.

We listen

The most important thing we do is listen to you.  Your industry, workforce, existing benefits, resources, and your priorities – all are important considerations in customizing a solution specific to your needs that works with your existing health care benefits.

We use data and technology

We are achieving real health care reform now through better coordination of care which is based on integrated technology fueled by relevant, comprehensive data.

We engage individuals

We understand that health care decisions are made by individuals.  Meaningful change happens when individuals make decisions based on personal interactions with people they trust.  GRIPA Connect™ Care Managers go the extra mile to gain that trust, whether that means a phone call or a visit to their physician’s office, work or home.

We collaborate with physicians

GRIPA’s history as a provider organization has taught us that working collaboratively with physicians is the best way to ensure that the changes people make will stick.  Fostering the physician-patient relationship is a hallmark of the GRIPA Connect™ Clinical Integration program, and we work closely with the physicians as an extension of their office.

We promote best practices

Another way we have collaborated with local physicians is in the development and adoption of best practices in medicine.  GRIPA member physicians have started with local and national guidelines for treating patients and have set the bar higher. 

We report transparently

Health care is one of the largest expenses that employers know the least about.  We will work with you to identify measures that are meaningful and relevant to your organization.  In addition, we openly report our own activities so our clients know exactly what we have been doing.
