Jackson Healthcare Strategic Alliances

Jackson Healthcare is continuously seeking to ally with successful organizations who wish to actively participate in the transformation of healthcare. Our goal is to identify and work with organizations that are as passionate about impacting the industry as we are.

The Center for Health Transformation (CHT) is a high-impact collaboration of private and public sector leaders committed to creating a 21st Century Intelligent Health System that saves lives and saves money for all Americans. CHT is based on the following premise: Small changes or reactionary fixes to separate pieces of the current system have not and will not work. We need a system-wide transformation. Unlike other alliances, CHT unites stakeholders across the spectrum (providers, employers, vendors, trade associations, disease groups, think tanks) and government leaders at both the state and federal level to drive transformation according to a shared vision and key principles.

CHT and Jackson are working together to orchestrate a fully integrated hospital operating system that provides instant communication of patient status to maximize patient throughput and capacity.  Together, CHT and Jackson will create innovative, real-world solutions that improve patient safety, increase operational efficiencies and reduce the cost of clinical programs.

The VHA Foundation is a not-for-profit, private foundation created by VHA Inc. to encourage leadership and innovation in addressing health and healthcare issues.  The Foundation seeks the input and participation of both member and non-member healthcare organizations in its effort to improve health and healthcare.  The VHA Foundation funds programs that focus on two important health themes:  patient safety and disaster relief.  Since 1998, the VHA Foundation has worked to improve health and healthcare of all Americans by supporting innovative solutions at the frontlines, helping hospitals be better prepared for emergencies and shedding light on a broad range of health and healthcare issues.

By combining the strength of two of Jackson's physician staffing companies, LocumTenens.com and Jackson & Coker Locum Tenens and Permanent Placement, Jackson and the VHA are working together to improve clinical and economic performance to community hospitals across the country. Jackson Healthcare will be the sole source provider for locum tenens and permanent placement physicians for the VHA.

Medical Justice is a membership-based organization run by physicians for physicians. We aggressively address the interest of doctors within the changing landscape of medical practice.  Our mission is to arm our Members with the necessary tools to protect their practice's most valuable assets - reputation, character and integrity - against frivolous lawsuits and Internet defamation.

The threat of meritless lawsuits causes physicians to practice defensive medicine.  Medical Justice and Jackson Healthcare are working together to limit the adverse impacts of defensive medicine which include unnecessary costs, limited access for certain patients, over- and under-treatment of life threatening illnesses and delayed adoption of medical advancements.
