What is the West Health Accelerator?

The West Health Accelerator at UC San Diego Health is a six-year collaboration focused on connecting every step so that every patient can get the right care, at the right time, in the right setting — by design.

Whether you're getting a first referral, moving between specialists, recovering after a procedure or getting care in more than one place, the goal is the same: care that is coordinated, timely and reliable.

Making Care Easier, Every Step of the Way

UC San Diego Health, in collaboration with West Health, is redesigning how care is coordinated and delivered. For you and your family, that's designed to mean the care you need is easier, faster, and more reliable.

Whether your next step is a hospital bed, a transfer, a virtual visit or care at home, the goal is to have it ready when you need it. You come first. Together, we are improving care ─ by design.

Designing Better Care

For more than a decade, UC San Diego Health and West Health have worked together to build better care for you, including opening California's first accredited senior emergency care unit. As demand for care grows across the country, we're taking the next step with the Accelerator, designed to make navigating, accessing and experiencing care easier, whether you're in the hospital, at a clinic, in a virtual visit or at home.

Creating a national blueprint to better care

What we learn in San Diego won't stay in San Diego. UC San Diego Health and West Health will share what works so health systems across the country can better serve their patients, too.
