SynerMed Groups Receive Official Recognition from NCQA for High-Quality Care

SynerMed, Inc., a market-leading healthcare platform for government-sponsored healthcare programs in the United States, announced today that Angeles IPA, Inland Valleys IPA and MultiCultural Medical Group received a NCQA P4P Audit Review Seal, the highest symbol for helping consumers and employers determine how well an organization is managed and delivers high-quality care and service.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance is a private non-profit organization that works to build consensus with large employers, policymakers, doctors, patients and health plans around healthcare quality issues and what's important and how to measure it.

"As SynerMed seeks to become the largest delegated risk platform in the country for government programs, we are seeking NCQA accreditation in order to affirm to our existing and future customers that we represent the gold standard of coordinated care and population health," said James Mason, SynerMed President and Chief Executive Officer.

Each year new data and scientific guidelines raise the bar. Improvements in quality care translate into saved lives, prevented illnesses and reduced healthcare costs. This year marks SynerMed's second year, where medical groups under its management demonstrated improved accuracy in reporting and achievement in passing the rigorous audit review standards set by the NCQA.

"People need help finding the best care and NCQA certification promotes greater transparency across the board for participating healthcare organizations," said Gina Magna-Zwick, SynerMed Vice President of Provider Relations. "SynerMed's integrated healthcare suite CONNECT, offers quality improvement solutions that help our medical groups close care gaps and deliver the Triple Aim." The Triple Aim is the clinical integration of better care, lower costs, and improved healthcare outcomes, leading to improved patient satisfaction.
