InnovAge’s chief executive highlights how strategic alliances within health systems are accelerating the expansion of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. This growth is driven by integrated care models that combine medical and social services. The report indicates that healthcare providers are increasingly adopting these partnerships to manage chronic conditions and support ageing populations effectively. Consequently, the PACE sector is witnessing significant structural changes, with organisations seeking to optimise operational efficiency through collaborative frameworks. This trend underscores a broader shift towards value-based care, where financial incentives align with improved patient outcomes rather than volume of services rendered.
