Inside Select Health’s Winning Strategy to Improve Rural Access, Provider Engagement & Health Equity
In this insightful episode, Kim Barrus, AVP of Quality and Accreditation at Select Health, shares three compelling case studies showcasing how her team is improving care access, streamlining provider engagement, and addressing health disparities across four states. Kim walks us through:
A groundbreaking hybrid clinic model in rural Nevada, created in partnership with the city of Wells and Intermountain Health, to bring primary, urgent, and behavioral care to medically underserved communities. The development of Select Health’s Quality Provider Plus Program, which consolidates risk adjustment and quality initiatives into a unified, less burdensome experience for provider partners—improving data sharing, reporting, and overall engagement.
A remote blood pressure monitoring initiative targeting rural members with hypertension, using disparity analytics to identify high-need populations and improve outcomes through education, mailed BP cuffs, and clinician collaboration.
If you’re exploring ways to improve access to care, streamline provider relationships, and address social and geographic health disparities—this session is a must-listen.
