VP Continuum Services

CommonSpirit Health is pleased to announce the formal launch of our national value-based services platform, Population Health Services Organization (PHSO). The PHSO centralizes our national value-based expertise and service capabilities and establishes a platform to serve our value hubs across our footprint. As we continue down the road of creating “One CommonSprit,” the PHSO is a major step forward in our ability to leverage our size and scale to provide services that will support value-based care performance, strengthen our networks, and help us keep pace with the evolving reimbursement landscape.

Local markets will increasingly be able to access high quality standardized tools and fill any capability gaps they may currently have.

As one of the nation’s largest providers in value-based care with 2.6 million attributed lives, we are uniquely positioned to make a high impact difference in this space.
