Arizona Connected Care, LLC

Arizona Connected Care is a collaboration of independent health care providers in Tucson and Southern Arizona, including more than 150 physicians, three Federally Qualified Health Centers and Tucson Medical Center.   While building on Patient-Centered Medical Home methods to improve access to team-based primary care services, Arizona Connected Care is also committed to aligning efforts of specialists and institutions to assure that patients throughout the community have access to necessary services, in a supportive and education-based health care environment.  Engaging patients directly in their own care should lead to improved decision-making, quality of life and better use of community health resources.  Arizona Connected Care will re- focus on basics, providing patients with access to information and extra resources to assist with transitions between care settings – “hospital to home”, ensuring that patients (especially those with chronic conditions) get the right care, at the right time, in the right setting.  The ACO is expected to serve nearly 7,500 beneficiaries.
