CentraCare Clinic receives awards for exceptional care
A total of 13 CentraCare Clinic sites received awards from the Minnesota Health Action Group’s Minnesota Bridges to Excellence (MNBTE) program.
MNBTE recognized 248 Minnesota and border state clinics who demonstrated a commitment to improving treatment of diabetes, vascular disease and depression, three chronic conditions that are key drivers of health care costs in the state.
This year’s recognized clinics will share $163,358 in rewards. Financial rewards for each clinic are based on the number of patients treated there who receive health care benefits from participating purchasers (the Minnesota Bridges to Excellence Champions of Change).
Since 2006, MNBTE has awarded more than $6.5 million to high-performing clinics and care systems to reward optimal care for people with diabetes, vascular disease and depression. Those rewards have helped inspire improvements to care for patients across the state. Changes have led to patients gaining access to quality information they can use to find the best care for their condition, and purchasers uniting to offer a common set of standards and a transparent reward mechanism
