Mission
THE MISSION OF FINGER LAKES IPA, INC. (FLIPA), THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF ITS MEMBERS, IS TO CREATE A COLLABORATIVE, CLINICALLY INTEGRATED MODEL TO ADDRESS THE CHANGES REQUIRED BY HEALTH CARE REFORM. THE MODEL WILL BE DEVELOPED THROUGH REGIONAL MEMBER INITIATIVES. COLLABORATION WILL BE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM BENEFITS FOR THE MEMBERS AND THE INDIVIDUALS TO WHOM THEY PROVIDE CARE. THE CORNERSTONE OF THE NEW MODEL IS THE ABILITY TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE DATA RELATING TO PATIENT POPULATIONS, THE COST OF CARE DELIVERED, AND HOW SUCH CARE IS DELIVERED. WITH SUCH INFORMATION, THE MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES THAT WILL RESULT IN COST-EFFECTIVE, QUALITY CARE, AND THE MEMBERS WILL BE BETTER ABLE TO ADDRESS THE ECONOMIC RISKS OF THE FUTURE REIMBURSEMENT MODEL.
