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.
