Services
Range of Services
UHS’ Acute Care Division is comprised of hospitals, freestanding emergency departments, and ambulatory centers across six states and the District of Columbia.
Breadth of Services
UHS Acute Care facilities offer a full continuum of care, ranging from imaging and diagnostic services to primary and specialty care, radiation and surgeries, post-acute care rehabilitation and home health services.
Delivery
- Accountable Care Organizations (ACO): UHS established its first ACO in 2014, and has since expanded to seven across the United States. These ACOs have consistently increased cost savings for third-party payers (Medicare), improved quality and been financially beneficial to participating physicians.
- Integrated Delivery Networks (IDN): With IDNs, patients gain better access to a full range of healthcare services (hospitals, outpatient and ambulatory service offerings) and thus have the opportunity to stay in-network and receive more coordinated care.
Joint Ventures/Partnerships
UHS is continually looking to engage in strategic partnerships that provide patients with convenient access to more services, physicians and locations. Our latest joint ventures/partnerships are with these leading healthcare systems:
In January 2022, we launched Valley Health at Home by BAYADA, a new joint venture partnership and our first in-market with BAYADA. This partnership model, soon to be launched in additional markets, will further expand our integrated care delivery network capabilities into patient homes and strengthen the post-acute continuum of care to meet the increasing demand for in-home services, particularly among the aging population.
