Aledade's Primary Care Network Outperforms National Hypertension Control Averages
Event summary
- Aledade's primary care partners achieved an 83.3% average hypertension control rate in 2024, outperforming national averages by 4%.
- The network avoided nearly 263,000 unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency visits in 2024, saving over $1 billion for the Medicare Trust Fund.
- Aledade's 'Four Ms' framework guides care teams through measurement, management, monitoring, and motivation for hypertension control.
- The success is attributed to value-based care incentives, enabling clinics to implement remote patient monitoring and data-driven treatment plans.
The big picture
Aledade's case study highlights the effectiveness of value-based care in improving hypertension control, a critical metric in reducing heart disease mortality. The success demonstrates how data-driven, preventive care models can outperform traditional health systems, potentially influencing broader healthcare policy and reimbursement structures. With over 3,000 primary care partners across 46 states, Aledade's approach could set a new benchmark for primary care delivery.
