DANBURY, Conn. , Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — OrthoConnecticut, one of Connecticut’s largest MSK multi-specialty practices, announced they are partnering with Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company (HOPCo), the national leader in musculoskeletal practices and clinical results management solutions and the nation’s largest orthopedic value-based healthcare organization.

The practice’s Centers of Excellence provide integrated treatment by a team of orthopedic surgeons, physician assistants, imaging specialists and support staff. The practice helps patients regain their mobility, live an active life and achieve optimal health.

OrthoConnecticut was founded following the merger of Coastal Orthopedics, Danbury Orthopedics, New Milford Orthopedics and Connecticut Pain Care. “Our intent in joining forces and becoming OrthoConnecticut has always been to combine best practices to provide the best possible outcomes and experience for our patients,” said Dr. Michael Brand, president of OrthoConnecticut. “Now that we have consolidated into one platform, we knew we would benefit from an experienced partner who could provide proven infrastructure for continued growth and accelerated market transformation. We witnessed how HOPCo helped improve practices similar to ours with the value they bring, so we knew this was the best choice as a partner.”

The partnership between HOPCo and OrthoConnecticut will continue to develop unique clinically integrated partnerships with other leading musculoskeletal practices, physicians, healthcare systems and payers throughout Connecticut and the surrounding regions.

OrthoConnecticut will be equipped with HOPCo’s proven clinical, quality, outcomes, digital patient engagement and claims analytics infrastructure to drive performance, growth and value-driven market transformation in the musculoskeletal space. Leveraging HOPCo’s proprietary care management platform, software tools and analytics, the partnership will deliver value-based healthcare solutions that improve healthcare outcomes, patient access, healthcare equity and the patient experience.

“OrthoConnecticut is a shining example of a practice leading the transition to value-based care in their market,” said Dr. Wael Barsoum, President and Chief Transformation Officer at HOPCo. “Their decision to become OrthoConnecticut signaled to the community their commitment to expanding access to excellent care. As they partner with HOPCo, we want to help them accelerate their growth, improve outcomes and reduce costs for patients and payers, while still providing unparalleled patient access and personalized care.”
