IPA: A Sophisticated Workflow and Platform for Risk-Bearing Organizations

The independent physician association (IPA) model in value-based healthcare has been alive and well in the US since the late ‘70s. Over time, several of these organization types have experienced significant shifts in their operations, methodologies, as well as approach in health plan contracting and reimbursement strategies in segments across the US.
