Innova Population Health

Connecting People and Teams

Population health and value-based care (VBC) require more than participation in new CMS and commercial models—they require teams that can execute day to day across transitions, chronic care, and continuous data. 

Every avoidable ED visit, readmission, or missed escalation can erase margin, so staffing strategy matters as much as technology. 

INNOVA Health connects organizations with population health and VBC professionals who turn data into action, align workflows to contracts, and improve clinical and financial performance. 

  • Reduce avoidable utilization by strengthening transitions of care and escalation pathways. 
  • Turn EHR, claims, SDOH, RPM, and wearable data into workflows and outreach, not just dashboards.   
  • Build longitudinal care teams aligned to risk-bearing contracts and quality measures. 

What we help your teams execute: 

  • Reliable transitions of care from hospital to SNF or home, with clear ownership and followup.   
  • Data operations that convert EHR, claims, SDOH, RPM, and wearable signals into registries, escalations, and closedloop workflows.   
  • Longitudinal, patientcentered care that actually aligns frontline work with riskbearing contracts and quality measures. 

We specialize in placing leaders and frontline professionals in roles that determine whether VBC initiatives succeed—or quietly lose margin—across programs like LEAD and TEAM. 

Complementing our team-building expertise, INNOVA Analytics Advisory Services – delivered alongside Datalion and HealthCorum – enables organizations to operationalize data, align performance metrics, and drive measurable clinical and financial results. 

Executive & Strategic Roles We Place:

  • Owns population strategy across CMS, ACO, and commercial valuebased contracts 
  • Aligns attribution, panel definitions, and risk stratification with operational reality 
  • Partners with finance to tie Pop Health and Ambulatory clinical programs (care management, RPM, SDOH) to total cost of care and sharedsavings performance 
  • Translates VBC requirements and KPIs into concrete financial and operational workflows 
  • Works with operations and IT so that what’s in the contract is actually measurable, manageable, and billable 
  • Integrates EHR, claims, and continuous data (including RPM, ambulatory visits, and data from wearables) into proactive course correction rather than reacting to avoidable ED visits and admissions 
  • Builds and refines escalation rules: who gets called today, who needs a visit this week, who is failing at home 
  • Partners with frontline clinicians to ensure alerts are clinically meaningful and fit into workflow – not just another unused dashboard 

Pharmacists, NPs, and PAs 

  • Own highrisk transitions: med reconciliation and adherence across the 30day postdischarge window and beyond 
  • Lead chronic disease care management (HF, COPD, diabetes, CKD) using multiple communication channels and continuous data trends to catch deterioration early 
  • Close care gaps that directly drive readmissions, ED utilization, and missed quality metrics 
  • Address transportation, food security, home safety, and caregiver support that determine whether discharge plans are realistic or aspirational 
  • Coordinate with communitybased organizations and payers to operationalize SDOH benefits 
  • Feed structured SDOH, homevisit, and caregiverinput data back into the integrated patient record so clinical teams see the full picture 
  • Translate complex care plans into what patients and families actually do daytoday 
  • Use data (including RPM and wearables where appropriate) to support selfmanagement—sleep, activity, medications, and symptom monitoring 
  • Reinforce behaviors that reduce avoidable care over the full episode 

INNOVA Health understands the operational shifts required to succeed in riskbearing valuebased care.
