Mercy Leads in Value-based, Accountable Care Delivery
For decades, Mercy has pioneered the path to lower cost, higher quality health care, achieving these notable milestones:
CMS PGP Demonstration
In 2011, Mercy (then St. John’s) was one of 10 health systems nationally selected for evaluation on cost efficiency and quality impacts by incentivizing physician pay for performance.
Centers of Excellence
Mercy began offering world-class programs of distinction in Cancer Care, Heart Health, GI & Bariatrics, Orthopedics & Joint Care, Neurosciences & Stroke Care, and Women’s & Children’s Health.
Direct to Employer Models
Mercy launched several customized models to meet employer needs, keeping workforces healthier, reducing lost time and minimizing employer costs.
Population-Based Health Management
Mercy began using data and AI to identify, predict and diagnose diseases for earlier intervention. Population-focused investments drive better outcomes for seniors and complex care patients.
Mercy ACO
Mercy was one of the first Accountable Care Organizations in the U.S., and now ranks number one among the 15 largest ACOs for both quality performance and patient savings.

What Employers and Brokers Should Look for in a Value-based System
