Aliados Health’s Evidence Based Care approach to clinical quality improvement:

Aliados Health utilizes an evidence based care (EBC) program framework for clinical quality improvement.  Aliados Health’s EBC programs seek to improve care and outcomes through:

1) Shared Clinical Guidelines and Protocols – Agreed to by Aliados Health Medical Directors for each member health center.

2) Clinical Decision Support and Analytics – Recalls, Alerts, Order Sets, Templates, Standard Reports.

3) Shared Best Practices – EBC guidelines/protocols, associated clinical decision support tools and analytics, and documented Promising Practices are implemented through Aliados Health’s functional peer network meetings:  Medical Directors, Dental Directors, COO/Nurse Manager, Data Leads, QI Leads, eCW User Group, CFO.

4) Population Health and QI Support – Provider/Staff Education and Technical Assistance.
