A10/B10: Better Outcomes, Less Utilization, Happier People: The Updated Southcentral Foundation/Alaska Native Medical Center Story

      This session describes a delivery system design that has achieved documented improvements in outcomes, costs, and satisfaction that have been sustained for the past eight years. How the Southcentral Foundation Nuka model—providing dramatic improvements in health outcomes, reduced total per capita costs, and significantly happier patients, families, and staff—can serve as a model to other US and international health systems will be discussed.
      After this presentation you will be able to:

  1. Describe health care dynamics in the US today that affect delivery system design.
  2. Explore a changed system of care based on significant primary care redesign.
  3. Articulate what customer driven design really means.
