CAMPBELL, Calif. & WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Transcend Insights®, a population health management company and athenahealth Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHN), a leading provider of network-enabled services and point-of-care mobile applications for hospitals and ambulatory clients nationwide, today announced a partnership to establish electronic data exchange between approximately 30,000 health care providers on the athenahealth network who provide care to Humana members.
Powered by Transcend Insights’ HealthLogix® health information exchange (HIE) enterprise solution and athenahealth’s health plan data exchange service, the connectivity between Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) and athenahealth will allow providers to take a more proactive and coordinated approach to care by electronically exchanging clinical data with Humana for quality management and performance management programs.
Compared to conducting manual chart audits, the clinical data exchange supports efficiency by reducing disruptive administrative burdens placed on providers and aims to improve the quality and completeness of data being conveyed to Humana.
“athenahealth’s partnership with Transcend Insights leverages the power of a cloud-based network to improve information sharing and reduce work at scale for providers and health plans,” said Jonathan Bush, Chief Executive Officer of athenahealth. “This partnership will not only improve data exchange, but will also help providers and health plan partners collaborate more effectively in the transition to fee-for-value and pay-for-performance programs.”
“This announcement underscores Transcend Insights’ vision of empowering lifelong well-being by establishing greater connectivity across the health care ecosystem,” said Marc Willard, President of Transcend Insights. “Health care should be a more intuitive and rewarding experience for all involved. Connecting care teams with the people they serve is the first and most important step toward accomplishing this goal.”
The arrangement follows Humana and athenahealth’s long history of partnership to automate and improve the medical billing process for providers.
