Increasing Innovation in Women’s Healthcare

Key Takeaways

1. Access to and Fragmentation of Care: Two persistent challenges in women’s healthcare are access and fragmentation. According to Bradley, both pose major challenges to women’s healthcare experience. Advantia is working to address both by enhancing the services it offers in its OBGYN practices to provide more services women want and need.
   
   
2. Value-Based Care is Top of Mind: As it becomes more difficult for many patients to navigate the cost of healthcare, the shift to value-based care is becoming more and more relevant. The trend is highly relevant to women’s healthcare providers, including Advantia. “We’re actively negotiating a number of payer contracts right now and in every single one of them, without exception… we’re leading with, that we want value-based care components to be part of those relationships.”
   
   
3. Driving Innovation: Care must evolve to meet the needs of modern women. Advantia is investing in several creative approaches to women’s healthcare.
