A tech company with a deep Connecticut footprint has surged to national leadership in the exploding industry of home health evaluation and care management.
Launched in Dec. 2017, Signify Health Inc. offers a value-based care platform that employs advanced analytics, technology and a nationwide provider network to create and support payment programs that aim to move hospitals and doctor practices away from the costly fee-for-service business model in favor of contracts that provide incentives to keep patients healthy.
It’s a transition the healthcare industry has long desired, but progress has come slowly.
Signify’s technology aims to help its customers — including health plans, governments, employers, health systems and physician groups — assess and manage patient risk and identify steps to improve care outcomes, coordination and cost-savings.
