About SOMOS Innovation

 

 

SOMOS Innovation is a full implementation of the holistic care model that was crucial to the success of SOMOS as a Performing Provider System in the DSRIP program. SOMOS Innovation is the next step on the path to culturally competent Value-Based healthcare. 

 

By utilizing the SOMOS Community Care model, SOMOS physicians reduced preventable hospital admissions by more than 20 percent, and avoidable readmissions by 25 percent. Given this remarkable performance, New York State’s Value-Based Payment (VBP) program designated SOMOS IPA as a VBP Innovator; SOMOS IPA is the only physician-led organization to earn that distinction.

 

SOMOS Innovation will enable healthcare providers to continue this trajectory by placing them in an optimal position to deliver affordable and cost-saving, high-quality, comprehensive care to the neediest patients, in accord with New York State’s Innovator Roadmap.

“We are extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish for our patients and for the State through the DSRIP program. We believe that it has positioned us well to continue serving hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers in their preferred language, with their cultural traditions, and in their neighborhoods”
