Duke Connected Care

Duke Connected Care is a physician-led, clinically integrated network and accountable care organization affiliated with Duke Health and administered through the Duke Population Health Management Office. It brings together Duke Health providers, independent community practices, and skilled nursing facility collaborators to manage care under Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial value-based contracts. Rather than developing drugs, the organization focuses on coordinated care delivery, analytics, beneficiary engagement, and care management programs intended to improve quality while lowering total cost of care. Duke Connected Care participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and supports payer-aligned network products with major insurers in North Carolina. For a biotech or healthcare analyst, it is best understood as a healthcare delivery and population health entity, not a therapeutic product company.
