On a mission to improve healthcare delivery

The U.S. spends $3.8 trillion dollars each year on healthcare. The system is largely built around a fee for service model where the provider and patient relationship is based on treating patients when they are sick rather than managing and preventing illnesses. Results for this type of care are less than ideal. Patients aren’t getting the care they need when they need it, and providers are burning out in a system that profits from how often patients are seen rather than how well they are treated.

In recent years, the healthcare industry has turned a corner with the transition to value-based care – a delivery model that pays providers, including hospitals and physicians, based on patient health outcomes. Under this model, providers are rewarded for helping patients improve their health, manage diseases and chronic conditions and live healthier lives.

This type of coordinated care takes data sharing, collaboration and strategic planning between health plan payors, providers and patients to maximize results and realize benefits.

The road to value-based care cannot be achieved by simple technology products like EMR’s and dated analytics tools. While significant innovation is occurring in the value-based healthcare space, most is aimed at addressing specific use cases whereby silos continue to be created and data remains static and cumbersome. Value-based treatment and payment models need specialized patient engagement techniques, workflows at the point-of-care and data capture and submission capabilities.
