Case Study: Rio Grande Valley Health Alliance, LLC achieves $8.6M in shared savings and 41% lower home health spending with Lightbeam Health Solutions

Patient-centered ACO saves $8.6 million leveraging Lightbeam’s Population Health Solutions

Rio Grande Valley Health Alliance, LLC (RGVHA), an ACO led by Dr. Luis Delgado, faced the challenge of shifting from fee‑for‑service to value‑based care while managing a growing Medicare population, high home‑health spending, limited performance indicators and fragmented clinical and claims data. To meet these needs RGVHA selected Lightbeam Health Solutions and adopted Lightbeam’s Population Health Management Platform to aggregate EHR and payer claims data, risk‑stratify patients and support coordinated care management.

Using Lightbeam Health Solutions’ analytics, care coordination and reporting tools, RGVHA implemented targeted interventions—validating home‑health eligibility, consolidating PCP assignments to improve medication adherence, and engaging high ER utilizers—resulting in $8.6 million in shared savings, a 41% reduction in home health spending per patient per month and a 10% drop in total ER visits and associated hospitalizations.
