Men had hier wel een pb voor kunnen uitbrengen .
Intercare is a national healthcare group comprised of four day hospitals, four sub-acute and rehabilitation hospitals, and 16 medical and dental centres that include family practitioners, dentists, pathologists, radiologists, biokineticists, dieticians, and physiotherapists. Because of this established and successful bloodline, Salubrity is in a prime position to deliver care to patients, as well facilitate and coordinate care for doctors, medical schemes and corporates. This service is supported by extensive experience in the field, as well as intelligent information technology platforms.
Dr Hendrik Hanekom, Salubrity CEO, explains: “Currently, remuneration of medical providers is based solely on an interaction with a patient, and the delivery of a certain service to them. Although it is imperative that medical professionals receive remuneration in line with their level of expertise and effort, it is important that the quality and value of that care also be considered and rewarded. We believe that remuneration more aligned to quality and the degree to which the care improves the patient’s quality of life and outcomes, is beneficial for both patients and medical practitioners.”
“Hospitalisation, casualty and specialist care for complications are the biggest drivers of escalating healthcare costs. It’s alarming to think that the 15% sickest patients in a medical scheme account for over 50% of the total healthcare spend by the scheme. With a truly integrated remuneration model which rewards value in addition to actual delivery of the service, patients receive better care and medical costs come down.”
In line with its strategy of preventative care, one of Salubrity’s first steps is the introduction of genetic screening services through an exclusive partnership with Genoma, a Swiss-based leader in clinical diagnostics.
