HQP's unique system of Advanced Preventive Care (APC) uses community-based nurse care managers ("Preventionists") to better control chronic conditions, avoid complications, and improve 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.

Health Quality Partners (HQP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit R&D organization committed to designing, testing, and disseminating more effective systems of care for vulnerable patients. HQP's unique design and system thinking approach has proven to reduce suffering, improve health outcomes, and can lower the overall cost of health care. This has already been convincingly demonstrated among higher risk chronically ill older adults. As tested within the Medicare Coordinated Care Demonstration and with Aetna, HQP’s model of Community-based Advanced Preventive Care, significantly reduced hospitalizations, deaths, and total Part A & B Medicare expenditures.

The current stroke care model, which is how even the highest and most sophisticated comprehensively certified programs operate, is too fragmented, focuses on just the first few days of care, and is extremely costly due to its reactive care setup. While patients receive top-notch emergent and initial inpatient care today at certified programs, nationally, 85% of strokes have acute care complications, readmission occurs in 13% of stroke cases, 20% of patients have a recurrent stroke within 90 days, and risk factor control for key elements (such as blood pressure, diabetes, and medication control) is at most 45% of post stroke patients. Stroke Link Health was created to address these issues and improve patient outcomes. With our model, we also save thousands of dollars in care per patient from providing coordinated, longitudinal team dynamics wrapped around the patient and family. In contrast to the current stroke model, Stroke Link Health offers an advanced model that links the care continuum, focuses on long-term patient outcomes and engagement, and reduces cost with proactive care management. We are designed as a true integrated stroke practice unit (ISPU). We engineer telehealth-enabled, collaborative teams called Stroke Central (hospital-based) and Stroke Mobile (home- and virtual-based post-acute and chronic care service). These teams unite the acute, post-acute, and chronic care continuum using a protocolized and proprietary care management and education model that wraps around the patients and families for 12 months. It is true longitudinal care.

Stroke Link Health partners with health systems, payors, and managed populations to improve stroke care delivery, patient outcomes, and experience while lowering the total cost of care. We provide a comprehensive, telehealth-enabled, and proprietary protocolized stroke care management model that coordinates care for stroke patients and their family across the full continuum for an entire year following a stroke episode.

The most studied and evidence-based preventive care model for complex, chronically ill older adults. Proven in a ~13 year large-scale randomized clinical study in the Medicare Care Coordination Demonstration. Demonstrated mortality benefits (reduction of 22% at 5 years, lower hospital and emergency utilization, and cost savings ($563 PMPM* net of program costs adjusted for 2019 USD).
