About

Your Partner for Improving Care Outcomes

AlignMed Partners is a national medical group dedicated to improving health outcomes among residents of skilled nursing and senior living facilities. Our physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) are supported by a clinical leadership team with a decades-long track record of excellence in post-acute and long-term care.

True Alignment Makes the Difference

Our dedicated healthcare delivery team elevates patient care in every facility that we serve. Through evidence-based treatments, expert care teams, and interdisciplinary collaboration, AlignMed delivers a seamless care experience that improves health outcomes.

We support our partners in three primary ways:

1

A robust performance management model that is tailored to achieving each partner’s unique objectives.

2

The power of data analytics through QAPI and provider performance reporting to deliver the right care at the right time and continuously improve our service to our partners.

3

An on-site, specialty-trained NP or PA who is focused on your quality goals, including:

  • avoiding unnecessary hospitalization
  • reducing polypharmacy and antipsychotic use
  • mitigating fall risk

Care is Just the Beginning …

At AlignMed, we believe in a better quality of life for all. Our mission is to elevate healthcare outcomes for our patients, providers, and partners. In living out our mission, we embrace the following pillars in our day-to-day operations.
