USA Health, Franklin And Monroe County Hospital Partner For Clinic

USA Health, Franklin Primary Health Center, Inc. and Monroe County Hospital will be working to fill the healthcare gap in women’s primary care in rural Alabama by opening the area’s first OB-GYN and women’s health clinic in Evergreen, Alabama, in 2023. This collaboration is intended to provide seamless access to both Monroe County Hospital and USA Health’s specialty care, when needed. The organizations plan to create a closely integrated program with shared clinical protocols and care coordination. There will be shared clinical leadership between Franklin and USA Health, and high-risk pregnancies will be closely monitored by providers at Monroe County Hospital. The organizations will also coordinate on measuring and improving critical quality metrics that enable USA Health and Franklin to work together in improving patient outcomes and women’s healthcare standards. There will also be deep technical integration that enables shared clinical notes, medical records, care coordination and quality data reporting to work toward better outcomes and experiences for both patients and providers.
