US-based health management companies HealthEC and VirtualHealth have partnered to advance population health management and improve patient outcomes.

The collaboration brings together VirtualHealth's HELIOS platform with HealthEC's population health analytics, offering healthcare organisations a suite of tools for managing chronic conditions and optimising care coordination.

By integrating HELIOS' care management capabilities with HealthEC's advanced analytics, the partners aim to enable healthcare providers to identify high-risk patients, streamline care coordination efforts and manage chronic diseases.

HELIOS supports a range of functions, including care and disease management, population health, utilisation management, and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) data interoperability.

The platform uses artificial intelligence (AI), automation and a variety of clinical workflows and integrations to enhance the effectiveness and speed of care delivery.

VirtualHealth founder and CEO Adam Sabloff said: “We have an outstanding platform that we’ve developed into a single solution for end-to-end medical management.

“HELIOS is used by big players in both payer and provider markets because it’s able to support coordinated care management, population health management, utilisation management, FHIR interoperability, and more all in one place.

“By working with population health analytics leader HealthEC, HELIOS customers will be able to connect population health data on a deeper level and provide insights that lead to improved patient care and health outcomes.”

HealthEC aims to help its customers achieve their objectives by offering a single-platform solution that facilitates personalised healthcare.

The platform enables connectivity and interoperability between claims and clinical systems, fostering data-driven collaboration between payers and providers.

HealthEC CEO Chris Caramanico said: “Bringing care management, disease management, and utilisation management to market as part of our offering is critical to providing a turnkey solution for providers trying to enter value-based care market.

“Meeting contract requirements is getting trickier for providers, and we aim to support them 100%. By working together, we’re bringing the best to market.”
