BOISE, Idaho, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Four health care organizations are partnering to create a new company focused on helping health information exchanges (HIEs) and their communities, payers and providers improve health outcomes. The newly formed partnership, known as BeyondHIE, will offer a comprehensive suite of services, technology and project management to support value-based care.
BeyondHIE, a nonprofit organization, will support health care organizations by bringing together health data partners and enabling that data to be scaled and enhanced. The four companies joining together are Comagine Health, Idaho Health Data Exchange (IHDE), Orion Health and the Utah Health Information Network (UHIN). These industry leaders offer deep expertise in the areas of data quality, utilization, support and delivery. Together, they will provide services that support health care organizations on their journey to improve health care quality, while also assisting with funding of provider connectivity.
"Delivering improved outcomes using health information enables payers and providers to meet the health care needs of the community they serve," said Brian Chin, chief executive officer at UHIN. "This joint venture can make vital health care data a reality for more communities."
"We are excited to partner with these key industry leaders striving to improve health outcomes throughout the U.S.," said Ian McCrae, founder and chief executive officer of Orion Health.
