July 30 2024 - 9:30AM
Acentra Health, a technology solutions and clinical services
company dedicated to helping government healthcare agencies
accelerate better health outcomes, announced it has been recognized
by Amazon Web Services (AWS) as an AWS Champion. This prestigious
acknowledgment by AWS celebrates organizations that drive digital
transformation through innovative use of cloud computing. Acentra
Health was the only organization among the 2024 AWS Champion
honorees with a specific focus on the needs of the public health
sector.
State and federal agencies continue to invest in cloud solutions
and cloud-native application development to advance their missions
and enable seamless interactions between different agencies.
Specifically, state agencies are increasingly prioritizing the
adoption of cloud services, with a focus on enhancing benefits
claims processing and case management-based
workloadsi. Acentra Health uses its AWS-enabled cloud
capabilities to process more than 1.8 billion claims and more than
5.7 million prior authorizations annually for its state clients’
mission-critical programs. These efforts drive $48 billion in
payments while also improving care quality, healthcare experiences,
and public health efforts.
“Acentra Health serves more than 45 state and 25 federal
agencies, impacting the lives of 140 million beneficiaries
nationwide,” said Harish Nanda, Chief Technology Officer, Acentra
Health. “This award recognizes our technological leadership and
reinforces that Acentra Health is uniquely positioned to bring deep
cloud expertise and industry-specific knowledge to state and
federal agencies looking to streamline their operations and service
delivery.”
Acentra Health has a long history of technology innovation. It
was the first company, in partnership with the state of Washington,
to move a Medicaid Enterprise System to the cloud, and has
continued to work with state clients to modernize their Medicaid
systems. These innovative and continuous modernization efforts help
Acentra Health’s clients achieve greater efficiency and cost
savings for their programs, and better outcomes for their
beneficiaries.
The AWS Champions program recognizes, celebrates, and supports
organizations that have used AWS services in groundbreaking ways to
improve services for their clients and their communities.
Organizations selected to receive this award share a mission to
transform and advance their organization to better serve their
clients, employees, and end users.
