NEPTUNE BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MedAxiom, the nation’s leading cardiovascular performance community committed to improving business and patient care outcomes, is partnering with Health Lumen, a progressive company of health care experts focused on data analytics, to offer cardiovascular programs innovative, affordable and scalable analytics solutions amidst the ever-changing health care landscape. The partnership aims to help MedAxiom member organizations achieve better patient outcomes and reduced costs.
“We know that new Alternative Payment Models are driving how medical care is reimbursed,” said Ryan Graver, President of MedAxiom Ventures, a division of MedAxiom. “That, in turn, is refocusing care models to help patients with chronic conditions become more engaged in their health to change their lifestyle behaviors. This partnership with Health Lumen will help health care organizations utilize big data to predict behaviors and high utilizers of health care to manage these populations most effectively.”
Health Lumen’s product and service offerings help optimize business value and improve health care outcomes. Their affordable alternatives have been enabling health plans, health care providers and employer organizations with meaningful insights since 2012. By integrating traditional health care data with other data types, including consumer intelligence, Health Lumen delivers insights that are significant to population health management, but more importantly, are personalized to each individual patient.
“Our data analytics solutions can play a huge role in better managing patients,” said Ken Erickson, CEO of Health Lumen. “As risk shifts, providers are essentially becoming the payers, and they will have more at stake with managing the total care of their own patients. The expertise we bring to the table can help health care organizations pinpoint those patients who require more care and allow physicians to have personalized conversations with them about how to change their lifestyles and improve their overall health.”
Joining forces, MedAxiom will leverage the existing Health Lumen analytic solutions, making them available to more than 370 cardiovascular organizations across the country that are members of MedAxiom. These organizations represent more than 6,800 physicians, 3,500 C-Suite leaders and include private, academic and hospital-owned programs. In addition, the two companies will develop innovative analytic capabilities specifically designed to support cardiovascular initiatives, including new mandatory bundled payment models and network optimization efforts designed to match the right patient with the right health care provider at the right time.
