US-based healthcare company Astrana Health has partnered with Elation Health, a clinical technology company, to enhance value-based care for primary care providers.
The partnership will focus on scaling risk-bearing entities such as accountable care organisations and clinically integrated networks, supported by affiliate providers.
Elation will contribute its knowledge of practice transformation and billing technology, as well as its electronic health record (EHR) system, which is currently used to provide care for 15 million patients worldwide.
As the exclusive care enablement partner, Astrana will offer its value-based care platform and solutions, as well as its care and disease management platforms and administrative services.
The partnership's focus is underscored by Astrana's agreement to provide its Care Enablement platform to a provider organisation in Hawai'i.
This initiative will integrate Elation's EHR technology with Astrana's infrastructure and care management capabilities, serving as a model for future collaborations.
Elation Health CEO and co-founder Kyna Fong said: “We look forward to a highly collaborative partnership with Astrana to support our current and future provider partners by leveraging their value-based care and enablement expertise to empower the entrepreneurial provider, enhance member experience, improve outcomes, and lower costs.
“Further, we are excited to be working together with Astrana in supporting Hawai'i physicians who desire to remain independent while caring for patients across all reimbursement models, and expanding the model to other regions.”
Astrana and Elation will jointly support more than 100 primary care providers in Hawai'i, managing the care of more than 20,000 Medicare patients.
Providers are expected to join Astrana's Care Enablement platform by the end of the third quarter of this year.
Astrana president and CEO Brandon Sim said: “We look forward to collaborating with Elation in bringing their EHR and our Care Enablement platform to providers across the country with the joint goal of supporting the delivery of high-quality, high-value healthcare for all.”
