Signify Health, Inc. launched a new partnership program to accelerate innovation in home-based care. The program is intended to create a partner ecosystem that connects provider organizations, payers, technology, and services focused on solutions that close care gaps and drive better outcomes. The program is focused on improving care in and around the home with hospitals, health systems, payers, and consumers across the country.
The Signify Health partners for this program are health technology and services companies that seek to advance the shift to value in the health care system and improve consumers’ well-being and ability to remain in their homes. Signify Health selects its ecosystem partners based on their ability to improve health outcomes in one or more fundamental ways, such as activating the home as a key site for care and recovery; equipping value-based provider organizations with the right insights, tools, and support to take on risk; and supporting a whole-person approach to care that integrates clinical, social, and behavioral factors. The seven inaugural partners are:
- Centerpoint, which uses artificial intelligence-based diabetes coaching, remote consumer monitoring, and hyper-personalized care to improve consumer outcomes.
- HealthComp, which provides customizable health benefits administration that delivers high quality member services and cost savings to self-funded employer groups.
- Medalogix, which is a data science and machine learning company that uses technologies that help home health and hospice clinical professionals to provide “the right care at the right time.”
- PatientBond, which provides consumer services that motivate behavior change.
- Population Health, which connects members to health care resources and benefits.
- Quartet Health, which works with health plans, systems and provider organizations to connect consumers to high quality mental health care resources.
- ReferWell, which uses health technology software to facilitate efficient care transitions to link consumers to preventive care and specialist visits.
Signify Health is a health care platform that leverages advanced analytics, technology, and nationwide health care provider organization networks to create and power value-based payment programs. For program partners, Signify Health delivers an opportunity to accelerate innovation through a platform that engages more than 1.4 million people each year through Signify Health’s In-Home Health Evaluations (IHEs). The program partners also an opportunity to participate in episodes of care programs managed by Signify Health.
Through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ bundled payment program and other episodes of care programs, Signify Health has managed more than 1 million cumulative episodes. The company’s initial focus is on partner technologies and services that support behavioral health, remote patient monitoring, social determinants of health, member engagement, distribution channels to employers, and care optimization. The goal is to ensure that after an acute care episode, consumers connect to needed follow-up care, including primary care, behavioral health, activating home care, transportation, or food assistance.
