Sustainable Business Model
Concept Overview
Healthcare costs continue to increase while patient outcomes worsen. School scores vary wildly depending on the neighborhoods in which they’re located. Human service nonprofits scramble to stay afloat. And the intelligent, talented, compassionate people on the front line of these institutions at the core of our communities are as frustrated by the lack of improvement as are the people they serve.
Our current community care systems are underperforming and unsustainable. And more policies and processes won’t help – we must redesign the system itself to make it sustainable.
At Curandi, we believe robust, mutually supportive community networks working in deep collaboration – not competition – are the answer. Networks connected by shared purpose and supporting technology, motivated by financial and non-financial incentive design and informed by data-driven feedback loops can produce the outcomes we want to see now – and with built-in evolutionary learning, they can continue to do so in the future.
Explore our library of articles examining how a collaborative, systems-based approach can create sustainability for healthcare, education and human service organizations by supporting outcome-based payment, validating results for funders and informing continuous improvement measures to ensure provider excellence.
