Walgreens Boots Alliance’s division Walgreens and Pearl Health have entered into a strategic alliance to expedite value-based care expansion, in partnership with community-based primary care physicians.

Technology and insight solutions offered by Pearl Health enable clinical teams to provide personalised treatments that are required for quality-focused care.

The collaboration with Pearl Health allows Walgreens to gain access to an additional complementary value-based delivery channel.

Walgreens Boots Alliance US Healthcare executive vice-president and president John Driscoll said: “Walgreens is committed to being the partner of choice for providers and health systems looking to transition quickly and effectively to value-based care and improve outcomes in the communities they serve.

“Our partnership with Pearl Health allows us to reach more communities faster and enable comprehensive, affordable care that improves long-term health outcomes and fosters healthier communities.”

Walgreens will offer complementary services, including immunisations, medication adherence, care gap closure, diagnostic testing, and prescription fulfilment.

Working with providers, it will also help patients discharg and transition from the hospital to home.

Pearl Health CEO Michael Kopko said: “Our technology-powered value-based care model aligns seamlessly with the healthcare services Walgreens offers, particularly in the most vulnerable communities.

“With a focus on proactive, coordinated care, we’ll collaborate to deliver a better solution to providers and ultimately deliver high-quality services to patients while managing their care efficiently.

“We’re very excited about the implications of this partnership for patients in Medicare and beyond.”
