Connance Selected to Provide Social Determinants of Health Data and Analytics for Caradigm Population Health Solutions

BOSTON, July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Connance, a healthcare leader in predictive analytics to personalize the financial and clinical experience, today announced its partnership with Caradigm, an Inspirata® company, to enhance its intelligent population health solutions. This partnership will give Caradigm's customers a holistic picture of the health of their patient population by complementing clinical and claims data with patient-specific social determinant insights and analytics.

"As the healthcare industry evolves to treat patients more holistically, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and consider non-medical factors such as food access, home stability and health literacy when developing a care plan," said Paul Isabelli, Caradigm Vice President and GM of Population Health. "Through the integration of social determinant data and analytics into Caradigm solutions, healthcare providers will be able to better assess and care for their patient populations."

Connance will connect its Value-Based Risk Analytics solution through Caradigm's suite of applications, providing their customers seamless access to patient-specific social determinant risk profiles and predictive analytics. This solution gathers and analyzes patient data to develop patient-specific risk profiles along multiple social determinant of health dimensions, including access to transportation, access to healthy food, health literacy and financial stress. Additionally, predictive analytics will help providers deploy their limited resources for maximum impact. Embedding this Whole Patient Insight® into Caradigm's population health solutions provides Caradigm customers an unparalleled understanding of their patient's health status to drive better outcomes and lower total cost of care.

"Despite multiple studies showing that socioeconomic and behavioral factors are responsible for upwards of 75 percent of an individual's health, most payers and providers rely solely on clinical or claims data for patient care. Social determinants of health have been more difficult to systematically collect and leverage for patient segmentation, risk stratification and care management," said Ryan Bengtson, senior vice president, Clinical Innovation, Connance. "Our Value-Based Risk Analytics solve this problem in an innovative manner by aggregating publicly and commercially available data in addition to relevant clinical information about the patient. By leveraging this additional data, we can better assess the true risk of the patient and enable more proactive and targeted care delivery."
