We must learn from the COVID-19 pandemic. We need a new system design that reforms and better integrates and coordinates our considerable health care delivery, public health, and community assets while strengthening our ability and accountability to proactively respond to community health needs. Preventive care needs to happen directly within and from communities, not just virtually or at existing facility sites. Care teams and their support services must function within the community where lives are actually lived - the only place pandemics and chronic non-communicable diseases can be prevented.
About Health Quality Partners (HQP)
HQP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and development organization committed to designing, testing, and disseminating more effective systems of care for vulnerable patients.
Since 2001, we exist to:
We engage with organizations, both non-profit and for-profit, that spans the healthcare spectrum, including providers, health plans, foundations, pharmaceuticals, and governments. We know the complexities and limitations of current health care delivery systems and have experience designing, implementing and evaluating innovative care delivery systems that improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations – working collaboratively and in support of primary and specialty care services.
We have worked with key stakeholders at all levels to support the implementation and adaptation of new care systems that are resilient to complex operational and financial challenges. Our design approach is grounded in evidence, including the lived experience of patients, caregivers, providers, and population health with randomized controlled trial data analyzed by knowledgeable staff or independent third parties. The HQP team is equally versed in the design, implementation, execution, and commercialization issues, bringing you firsthand expertise from senior levels of industry, clinical services, public health, and non-profit R&D sectors.
Our unique system of Advanced Preventive Care (APC) using community-based nurse care managers better controls chronic conditions, avoids complications, and improves the quality of life. APC is a unique system of care for older adults with chronic conditions to identify and mitigate as many risks to health as possible, especially focusing on risks that are important, but not as readily recognized or addressed by our existing health system. When reliably delivered and replicated to appropriately selected populations it saves lives and reduces overall health care costs significantly.
Since 2001, we exist to:
- Discover and apply new knowledge and insights through R&D to design systems of care that improve the health of vulnerable populations and prevent avoidable complications of aging and chronic disease
- Optimize, redesign, implement, evaluate, improve, and replicate these systems through collaborations with other organizations to succeed in value-based care
- Spread the use of Advanced Preventive Care (APC), a thoughtfully designed care management system for chronically ill older adults

March 29, 2018 - HQP's system of Advanced Preventive Care was highlighted in a webinar on Effective Care for High-Need Patients organized by the National Academy of Medicine and supported by the Peterson Center on Healthcare. A video recording of the webinar is above. The webinar highlights the insights HQP has gained over the years and some of the practical challenges associated with scaling an effective model of care for chronically ill, older adults. Dr. Ken Coburn of HQP was joined by Dr. Jonathan Harvey, Chief Medical Officer at Martin's Point Health Care who described their organization's early experience adopting Advanced Preventive Care using a system of replication supported by a collaborative partnership with HQP. #HighNeeds
