SAN DIEGO - Accumen Inc. continues to define itself as a leading lab excellence partner in the clinical laboratory segment of healthcare delivery to provide the best patient care while working toward reducing costs and improving quality to for results that create healthier labs, hospitals, and communities. Simultaneously, the AzHHA Affiliated Partners Program, a subsidiary of the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association, continues to find new opportunities to collaborate with organizations and leaders devoted to collectively building better healthcare for the patients, people, and communities of Arizona. A newly signed, three-year partnership agreement will now further enable the mission and goals of both organizations.
Accumen is a leader in laboratory transformation and is valued as a performance partner by hospitals and health systems across the country. AzHHA embraces change and recognizes the benefit of two organizations working together to accomplish more than just independent efforts. Proven business models enable both organizations to create the standard for best practices and replicate it across the state or country. Alignment is solid between both organizations as they share additional pillars that include transparency in pricing, analytics, and information utilization, driving realistic results and creating successful outcomes. “We know that everyone in healthcare is considering cost reduction actions,” said John Koeneke, AzHHA Affiliated Partners Program Vice President of Business Development. “Our partnership with Accumen provides our members an outstanding service they require.”
Accumen established a relationship with AzHHA as a gold sponsor for the 2016 AzHHA Annual Leadership Conference and provided significant value for the members at the event. AzHHA’s purpose is to bring a variety of voices together to explore ideas and take collaborative action that will attain the best healthcare for Arizonians. As health systems experience increased pressure to reduce costs, expand services, and drive greater outcomes, these two entities will partner to provide thoughtful value.
