“I can describe OHN in two simple words: Patient First. OHN’s patient-first mentality differentiates them from other network models that tend to shift care into delivery models that actually serve to increase costs. “As an independent practice, our group has been able to evaluate multiple clinical networks, and OHN has clearly differentiated itself. OHN has been consistent with clear communication, investment in frontline clinical support and tools, competitive value-based contracting, and the creation of opportunities to deliver high quality clinical care since inception. They understand how primary care drives great patient outcomes and, more broadly, improves community health. Providers benefit from OHN’s well-managed clinically integrated network as they are able to both remove barriers and provide resources allowing our providers to have more meaningful patient interactions. “OHN uniquely provides resources and opportunities for clinicians to be a voice of change as we strive to improve care for our payer partners, employers and, most importantly, our patients. In the past decade of partnering with OHN, and much longer with the Orlando Health hospital system, I have found all levels of the organization have truly embraced a patient first culture and extended it to their community partners through the resources they offer.”

“Being a member of OHN has been incredibly valuable to me and my practice. In the past few challenging years, I have found ample support through clinical collaborations with OHN. Many available resources have aided my staff and me in our strides toward improving the quality of care we provide to our patients. I am glad that as a part of a clinically integrated network backed by a large health system, I am always equipped with the latest technological advancements, performance reporting insights and other tools. With this support, I can stay apprised and involved in the overall goal of providing value-based care every day.”

Having the reliable support of OHN is a benefit that we value as an independent pediatric practice. In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we received their support to fit our providers with N95 masks and assist our administration with provision of information on locations to purchase personal protective equipment when it was difficult to find. OHN went above and beyond in providing weekly updates and webinars for information regarding the pandemic. “Being a member physician of OHN is important not only because they are a great resource for providers, but also because it is a way for providers to be held accountable for providing the highest quality of care. OHN is constantly finding ways to improve access to care and to put patients first, while collaboratively working together with community providers. They hold practices to a high standard, and providers who are in the network should feel proud to be recognized for this high-quality level of care. It is a privilege to be a part of OHN and what they represent — excellence and innovation.”

“Being able to join a reputable organization like Orlando Health has been incredibly rewarding, and I find working with physicians that have chosen to become part of a long-time family inspiring. I believe it is important to be part of the Orlando Health Network because we as physicians serve an important role in achieving a better patient experience, improved population health outcomes and lower healthcare costs. I joined OHN immediately following residency and it has been the best choice I have made. To many physicians, like myself, the administrative work involved in being a physician can seem almost irredeemably complex, but the OHN team does a wonderful job of simplifying the information for busy physicians and supporting us with any assistance we might need, hence allowing us to focus on patient care.”

Being a member of OHN is a huge benefit to both me and my patients. This partnership not only helps me provide the best possible experience for my patients but also eliminates redundancies in healthcare, such as repeated tests and imaging and unnecessary medical costs. With an integrated system of healthcare providers, and electronic medical records, I can see the entire patient care experience and easily collaborate with the patient’s other healthcare providers. Together, we can manage every aspect of care from routine screenings to complex multispecialty care cases to provide all encompassing, compassionate and quality care.”
