Benchmarks, a large specialty health care provider association in North Carolina, partnered with NC ONEcare, LLC, a clinically integrated network (CIN) managed by Alera Health. The goal is to create a “no wrong door” system of quality care, by using analytics to ensure that families receive the integrated support and services they need. NC ONEcare operates an integrated network of primary/pediatric care, behavioral health, and foster care providers across the state. Alera Health, which provides population health management, technology, and data analytics solutions, will support the partnership through its Care Optimization Suite.

Peggy Terhune, President/CEO of Monarch, who is also the chair of NC ONEcare, LLC and a member of Benchmarks said, “The focus on health care access, quality, and equity by using analytics will demonstrate improved population health outcomes.”
