Freed Associates News
September 2024 Edition

Greetings,

I know we all have been hard at work ensuring that patients and members have equitable access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.

In this issue of Freed News, we highlight our latest use case where we take on a critical Social Determinant of Health, transportation. We offer up three ways your organization can improve transportation access to patients/members in need. And, as a result, improve overall healthcare quality and cost by cutting down on missed appointments and reducing delayed hospital discharges.

Read our recent success in guiding a client towards significant improvements in its CMS Quality Star Ratings, achieving an impressive two-star increase in just two years.

Giving patients and members timely, accurate access to their health information isn’t just a best practice, it’s a legal requirement. The final rule on Information Blocking is out and penalties are being enforced. Learn everything you need to know here.

Last and by far not least, with a heart full of gratitude, I am proud to tell you that Freed Associates has again been named one of the U.S. Top 100 Best Small Workplaces™ by Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work®. Being included on this prestigious list is a true honor. It’s also a testament to every single amazing Freed employee who makes a difference within our company and with our clients.

Best,

Dava Freed
Founder and CEO
