Providence advances progress on our carbon negative goal and in 2023 we estimated that we decreased emissions by over 12 percent compared to our 2019 baseline. In addition, our efforts led to the introduction of the green hospitals act, legislation modeled after Providence that would provide critical federal funding to weatherize and modernize health care facilities. Providence completed a comprehensive climate resilience Plan in alignment with our commitment to the us department of health and human services climate pledge. We continue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with a focus on led lighting upgrades, water conservation, more efficient delivery of nitrous oxide gas during anesthesia, and advancing our waste optimization work across all hospitals and clinics.realizing our missionprovidence Plan Partners (ppp) fulfills its social welfare purposes by furthering the healthcare services provided by its affiliates Providence health Plan (php) and Providence health assurance (pha). Both are regulated health plans with activity in Oregon and Washington, and are recognized as exempt under irc sec. 501 (c)(4). Ppp operates as an integral part of php and pha, providing operational oversight, leadership, policymaking, management and support services, and strategic planning. Without ppp, php and pha would need to perform these services for themselves. Therefore, by providing these operational services, ppp allows php and pha to free up and re-allocate resources in order to improve quality and breadth of healthcare services to the surrounding community. In addition, because of ppp's presence, php and pha can perform initiatives that lead to the improvement of healthcare through the study, treatment, and remedy of human diseases and disorders.bringing a wide network of healthcare providers to bear in a managed care program that is subject to the control of a non-profit health system creates an integrated non-profit healthcare delivery organization. In particular, this structure affords the program and its participants significant benefits from cost efficiencies, improved coordination of care and management, and greater access to specialized services not usually found in rural areas. The programs will also foster strengthened management and improved access to sophisticated services available through the system and its affiliated clinicians.ppp provides php and pha with operational oversight, including providing employees to both entities. Ppp employs approximately 1,699 through a leased employee agreement with its affiliate parent Providence health & services - Oregon, in order to support php and pha. These employees perform administrative and operational services in order to allow php and pha to provide improved healthcare services and access, benefiting the surrounding community. Ppp charges these administrative expenses to php and pha based on time necessary to perform the support services. Ppp pays all administrative and payroll costs on behalf of php and pha, which are later reimbursed to ppp.providence preferred provider program (the program), as part of Providence Plan Partners (ppp), is a network of medical practitioners, hospitals and ancillary medical providers throughout Oregon and southwest Washington designed to manage the cost, delivery, and quality of healthcare in these communities. The program offers employers, self-insured employers, health and welfare trusts and other healthcare purchasers a program for reducing the cost of healthcare services, while maintaining the quality of medical care to enrollees. The program acts as a liaison between hospitals and payors by informing payors and enrollees of the agreements entered on their behalf by the program. The program neither assumes risk or responsibility for payment to hospitals or providers nor guarantees payment by payors or performance by hospitals or providers of any of the terms of conditions set forth in any payor agreements.providence managed care organization program (mco), as part of Providence Plan Partners (ppp), is an Oregon certified workers' compensation program designed to complement the claims management program of employers. As such, the program aims to provide coordinated, high quality medical care to workers who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses and focuses on early return-to-work strategies that keep employees productive during recovery. The program is functionally and structurally similar to preferred provider program (ppo), although focused on workers' compensation only.
