The ONEcare Population Health Academy—sponsored by Alera Health in partnership with OPEN MINDS—is built for behavioral health executives, managers, and clinical leaders seeking deeper expertise in population health best practices, value-based contracting, and integrated systems of care.
Participants learn from industry experts on data analytics, clinical quality improvement, value-based contracting, total cost of care management, and building clinically integrated networks. While 10% of individuals drive 70% of healthcare spending, over half experience a behavioral health condition—often with multiple chronic conditions—making them the focal point of whole-person, value-based care.
The Academy equips leaders to manage this complexity through virtual and in-person learning, direct access to experts, curated resources, webinars, partner sessions, and the Whole Person Summit—all ad-free and designed for busy executives.
Participants also gain access to the OPEN MINDS platform, including the value-based readiness assessment, on-demand support, and insights on market trends and best practices. Graduates receive an invitation to the exclusive annual ONEcare Symposium in New Orleans.
