  • A Novel Pharmaceutical-ACO Collaboration: The Merck/Heritage Provider Network Open Innovation Challenge

    American Journal of Managed Care

    The enhanced focus on patient outcomes and value for ACOs in general will mean that pharmaceutical companies will have to reshape their relationships with ACOs along these lines. Refocusing these relationships around value will require (1) collaborative measurement of patient outcomes; (2) new commercial models that enable value-based payment; and (3) a broadening of the relationship to develop solutions and services that enhance outcomes independent of the pharmaceutical companies’ products…

    The enhanced focus on patient outcomes and value for ACOs in general will mean that pharmaceutical companies will have to reshape their relationships with ACOs along these lines. Refocusing these relationships around value will require (1) collaborative measurement of patient outcomes; (2) new commercial models that enable value-based payment; and (3) a broadening of the relationship to develop solutions and services that enhance outcomes independent of the pharmaceutical companies’ products. It is this latter requirement that prompted Merck & Co, Inc, a global pharmaceutical company, and the Heritage Provider Network, Inc (HPN), a Southern California based managed care organization with affiliates in Arizona and New York, and the largest of the Pioneer Model ACOs, to engage in a collaborative process to identify novel solutions in disease areas of considerable shared epidemiological interest: diabetes and heart disease. During the fall of 2013, Merck and HPN launched an open innovation challenge around care plan adherence for patients with diabetes and heart disease. To our knowledge, this is the first collaboration between a pharmaceutical company and an ACO.

    This article describes this collaboration, the innovation process, and implications for further collaborations between ACOs and other healthcare stakeholders.

    Recently, organizations large and small have radically rethought company design by embracing human-favorable policies including establishing livable wages, developing creative equity plans, offering paid parental leave policies, and even pulling out of an entire state in protest of discrimination.

    Recently, organizations large and small have radically rethought company design by embracing human-favorable policies including establishing livable wages, developing creative equity plans, offering paid parental leave policies, and even pulling out of an entire state in protest of discrimination.

    In addition to sending a strong signal that people come first, these organizations are also making an economic argument to investors that these policies pay dividends in reduced turnover and improved business outcome.



    Some call this corporate social activism.

    We call this Human Company Design, a management approach that creates more value by investing in people.
