BOSTON, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Connance, a healthcare leader in predictive analytics to personalize the financial experience, today announced its participation in GE Healthcare's Centricity Partner Program to offer Connance's uniquely positioned Advanced Propensity to Pay solution to GE Healthcare's Centricity customers. This new collaboration will enhance Centricity's Revenue Cycle solutions with a non-credit, propensity to pay predictive analytics and end-to-end workflow. This solution drives a multi-channel, predictive-driven patient engagement approach to manage cost-effective patient collections and superior patient satisfaction.

"We take immense pride in our Centricity Partner Program and carefully verify complementary solutions applicants to the program," said Neeti Gupta, director of Independent Software Vendor marketing programs at GE Healthcare. "By adding Connance as a partner, our customers can select a well-designed revenue cycle predictive analytics and workflow solution that helps to lower costs, increase collection and meet the changing consumer-driven healthcare business model."

The Connance Advance Propensity to Pay solution can be leveraged both pre- and post-service to deliver a more satisfying and personalized financial experience for patients and staff while driving higher collections and lowering overhead costs. This solution enables immediate productivity and improved collections through:

    --  Predictive Analytics Quarterback Workflow: Connance's proprietary
        account segmentation provides guidance to staff on effective
        communication strategies and pertinent outreach methods.
    --  End-to-End Flow Control: Comprehensive coordination of a multi-channel
        communication platform enables versatile and effective approaches in
        patient outreach.
    --  Robust Performance Management: Reports and dashboards allow for
        understanding of the account collection rate performance by segments and
        staff productivity.

"Due to the ever-increasing adoption of high-deductible plans, patient-pay receivables have become significant in all areas of healthcare and are on a trajectory for continued growth," said Lori Jones, chief revenue officer, Connance. "Compounding this problem, patients remain confused and surprised by their new financial responsibilities, requiring new strategy, skills and tools for providers looking to deliver a truly satisfying patient experience. We are excited for this new partnership since we are both innovators within the healthcare industry and focused on enabling today's providers to deliver care in the best way possible.
