The way physicians and nursing home organizations work together must improve, especially with value-based care continuing to grow in prominence among all care settings.
More specifically, C-suite executives, nursing staff and other leaders – from both the physician group side and nursing home operator end – must have a close partnership and aligned business strategies to best serve nearby communities, Dr. Arif Nazir, chief medical officer for Abode Care Partners, told Skilled Nursing News.
Abode is the primary care arm of BrightSpring Health Services, which also has a home and community-based health services provider base; long-term care pharmacy PharMerica is a subsidiary of BrightSpring as well. In his role with Abode, Nazir also does consulting work with large SNF providers Signature HealthCARE and American Senior Communities, among other SNF operators.
