OPTIMISTIC to Probari

Pioneering the Future of Nursing Homes

Our Foundation: OPTIMISTIC

Our core clinical model was developed from the ground up through OPTIMISTIC, a $30.3 million CMS Innovation Center Initiative. Led by Dr. Kathleen Unroe and Dr. Greg Sachs at the Indiana University Center for Aging Research and the Regenstrief Institute, OPTIMISTIC re-engineered care across central Indiana nursing facilities.

The project’s peer-reviewed results established a new benchmark for long-term care delivery.

  • 33% reduction in potentially avoidable hospitalizations

  • 19% reduction in all-cause hospital readmissions

  • 25% cost reduction in relative Medicare expenditures for avoidable hospitalizations per resident
