Care
NantHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: NH), a next-generation,
evidence-based, personalized healthcare company, announced today
its new customer, Wexford Health Sources, Inc. (Wexford Health).
Wexford Health, the nation's leading innovative correctional health
care company, chose Eviti® Connect, NantHealth’s evidence-based
treatment intelligence and web-based oncology decision support
platform, to ensure inmates receive appropriate care for their
oncologic conditions.
“As we continually improve our comprehensive medical program,
it’s important for us to do so with the well-being of our patients
in mind,” said Dr. Tom Lehman, CCHP, CCHP-P, Corporate Medical
Director of Wexford Health. “High costs and high mortality
illnesses are prevalent in our nation’s correctional facilities. By
collaborating with NantHealth and their Eviti Connect solution, we
are now able to streamline oncology authorization allowing patients
to begin evidence-based treatment quickly.”
Wexford Health is a recognized leader in providing experienced
management and technologically-advanced services, combined with
programs that control costs and ensure quality. As one of the
nation’s largest correctional healthcare companies, they provide a
full range of medical, behavioral health, pharmacy, utilization
management, provider contracting, claims processing, and quality
management services. The relationship with NantHealth will allow
Wexford Health to continue to build upon their commitment to
quality care and technology advancement.
“According to a 2009 study published in the American Journal of
Public Health, about 40% of the nation’s prison and jail population
reported a chronic medical condition such as cancer,” said Dr.
Sandeep “Bobby” Reddy, Chief Medical Officer of NantHealth.
“Wexford Health is setting an example for others to follow by
gaining visibility into the cost of care at the regimen level
before patient treatment begins and informing treatment decisions
with a comprehensive, evidence-based clinical library.”
NantHealth’s Eviti Connect platform helps ensure that cancer
treatment plans are aligned with evidence-based medicine to support
high quality patient care. With Eviti Connect, providers can
receive treatment authorizations in a timely fashion so patients
can begin treatment without delay.
