Optum is a
Diamond Level Strategic Partner and Gold Level Sponsor of Quality Connections
The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization
(NHPCO) proudly recognizes Optum
Hospice Pharmacy Services (Optum) as a Diamond Level Strategic Partner. Through
this generous commitment, Optum will play a valuable role in support of NHPCO’s
efforts to lead person- and family-centered care in the U.S.
Optum further demonstrates its commitment to high-quality
hospice care as a Gold Level Sponsor of NHPCO’s Quality Connections
program. Quality Connections was developed and launched in January 2021 to enhance
the knowledge base, skills, and competency of hospice and palliative care staff
through education, tools, resources, and opportunities for engagement and
interaction among hospice and palliative care professionals.
Optum has been a long-time supporter of NHPCO’s professional
development activities, most notably as the sole sponsor of the 2020 summer
Virtual Conference that focused on quality. This virtual conference was seen in
all 50 states last July.
“Through its generous support, Optum continues to work with NHPCO
on efforts to raise the bar for hospice and palliative care providers and
professionals with a focus on innovation, access, and quality,” said NHPCO
President and CEO Edo Banach. “Ultimately, support of our mission and the
membership is all about ensuring the highest standard of care for patients and
families, and excellence among the provider community.”
“We're excited to expand our role in supporting NHPCO and
its ongoing commitment to the hospice and palliative care community,” said
Jason Kimbrel, PharmD, BCPS – Vice President, Optum Hospice Pharmacy Services.
“The importance of the Quality Connections program aligns with Optum's
initiatives to support organizations that showcase high-quality, person
centered care which leads to overall service excellence within the industry.”
For over 25 years Optum Hospice Pharmacy Services has been
empowering hospice care through a flexible, forward-thinking approach by
providing industry leading expertise in helping providers control costs,
improve technology, and deliver exceptional service so they can put their
energy where it matters most — with their patients.
