Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Lorem Ipsum Industry
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
Working together, IHP and our member organizations can:
- Integrate electronic medical record datasets into one unilateral patient record for care planning and communication.
- Increase the overall quality of health care services.
- Improve the patient and provider experience.
- Create a network of resources that produce healthier communities.
- Reduce total health care costs.
- Engage key stakeholders in care planning and management.

Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham:
- Ensuring access to primary care with a culture of “no wrong door”, which means patients can access all IHP sites regardless of primary care provider attribution.
- Utilizing evidence-based medicine protocols to develop clinical and operational best practices that are put into practice at our primary care sites.
- Using leading technologies to aggregate all payer, provider, and patient data from our member organizations.
- Providing aggregated data to payers and providers, resulting in a more comprehensive view of patient needs and utilization patterns.
- More closely partnering with leading physician groups and hospital systems in Southern California to offer more comprehensive health care options for patients.
- Working with our managed care partners to implement value-based care and payment models that focus on access, quality, and cost.
- Developing network teams targeting care management, population health management, data and analytics, coding and clinical documentation, and much more to directly impact patient care and provider support.
- Engaging in state and federal healthcare reform efforts that support the needs of community health centers and our clinical partners that serve vulnerable communities.

IHP Clinical Committee
IHP’s Clinical Committee is composed of clinical leaders from each of our member health centers. The charge of the committee is to set strategic priorities for the network related to the clinical quality and value of care for patients. The committee has six overarching goals:
- Establish a focus on quality/value measures for the network.
- Achieve oversight of health plan programs and interventions.
- Achieve oversight of workgroups reporting to the clinical committee.
- Advise on network coding strategy.
- Advise on network behavioral health strategy.
- Advise on the network’s glide path to health equity.
The committee meets monthly and is led by its chair, Dr. Marie Russell (TrueCare), and vice chair, Dr. Sarah Fatland (Vista Community Clinic).
Quality Process Improvement
The IHP Quality Program is a data-driven approach to assist health centers in improving their overall quality of care while helping to lower total costs and improve patient access to services. This approach allows the IHP Quality Program to target areas for improvement and implement strategies to help enhance the care of our populations.
Our quality team collaborates with payors to identify key performance metrics, ensuring that data is accurate and care gaps are closed. To help address quality needs, we have designated patient navigators who assist Health Centers in engaging patients throughout their care processes.
IHP’s partnership with payors also works to develop projects aimed at improving performance in pay-for-performance contracts. Our Quality Liaisons are Subject Matter Experts in HEDIS measures and are always available to assist any health centers in need of additional resources.
Care Management
IHP’s Care Management Program helps clinicians to identify patients who require extra attention and services. This program is designed to ensure that patients receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place. IHP Care Management utilizes data to segment patients based on stratified clinical risk. This approach allows for the optimization of care teams and leveraging of resources to improve the overall efficiency of organizations.
The IHP Care Management Program can help healthcare providers improve their value-based contract performance by providing high-quality patient care that improves outcomes, and positions member health centers to earn incentives for meeting or exceeding performance targets.
