The Unified Clinical Organization (UCO), an innovative care improvement model from Trinity Health, is improving care coordination, patient outcomes and advancing standardization of care practices with support from Accenture (ACN). As a result, for one example, a new care model for sepsis patients has helped Trinity Health save $17 million in annual costs related to sepsis care and reduced patient mortality from sepsis by almost 20 percent, according to information Accenture released today at HIMMS Annual Conference & Exhibition (HIMSS). These and other achievements of the UCO are helping Trinity Health reduce healthcare costs while increasing care quality and making it possible to expand access to more people.
