AI-enabled healthcare services provider unlocks
clinically integrated network potential, enabling a scalable
approach to lower costs and better patient outcomes in value-based
care.
HARRISBURG, Pa. and DALLAS, April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PA Clinical Network (PACN), the
nation's only state medical society, physician-led clinically
integrated network and Guidehealth, a nationally acclaimed,
AI-enabled healthcare services provider, today announced a
multi-year strategic partnership to improve healthcare for
Pennsylvania patients.
Leveraging the Guidehealth platform and patient care
management guides, the collaboration will allow PA Clinical Network
to integrate leading AI solutions and clinical services, empowering
its providers to deliver superior health outcomes, care quality,
and patient experience at a lower cost without overwhelming
physicians and their busy practices. Guidehealth technology and
care outreach services will accelerate PA Clinical Network's shift
to assuming risk, while leaving contracting control with the
network and its independent practices.
By expanding into Pennsylvania,
Guidehealth builds on 25 years of supporting health systems and
clinically integrated networks (CINs) with operational excellence
and outstanding customer service. Guidehealth's work across the
commercial and Medicare lines of business in quality gap closure,
complex care management, and delegated payer services was recently
recognized as Best in KLAS for the sixth year in a row,
achieving the number-one ranking for Value-Based Care Managed
Services in 2024.
"It is becoming increasingly challenging and costly to engage in
value-based agreements, and make the right investments in staff and
technology," said Dr. John Pagan,
Chair of the PA Clinical Network. "We are impressed by
Guidehealth's ability to consolidate leading AI solutions and,
through their Healthguides™, incorporate them into clinical
workflows that meet our practices where they are. These tools will
enhance the patient experience, optimize recognition for the great
care our independent physicians provide their individual and
collective patients, and reduce the burden placed on our
doctors."
"We know that aiding physicians in achieving better outcomes at
a lower cost is achievable. Our Healthguides™ augment the practice
through our AI-enabled platform, which combines the best
commercially available AI, our own models and tools, along with
decades of experience in value-based care," said Guidehealth CEO
and Founder Dr. Sanjay Doddamani.
"This partnership with the PA Clinical Network aligns perfectly
with our mission to eliminate guesswork and facilitate the delivery
of superior care."
"We augment and offload administrative and operational support
for each practice through virtual, centralized, and automated
processes and teams that are centered around AI-enabled clinical
risk-stratification and a unified high-impact care plan," said Dr.
Mark Selna, President and Chief
Operating Officer of Guidehealth. "By addressing the needs of
high-risk patients and closing quality care gaps, we mitigate
unnecessary care and improve patient outcomes."
