Anthem Blue Cross (Anthem) and Providence St. Joseph Health System (PSJHS) in Southern California have formed a new value-based care relationship with Vim, a leading technology firm building the digital infrastructure for U.S. healthcare. Vim’s point-of-care technology will be used to help providers deliver high-quality care and a better patient experience while cutting total expenses.
- Integrated application: Vim provides an EHR-integrated application package that includes solutions for Digital Scheduling, Care Gaps, and Referral Guidance, among others. These applications work together to improve patient experience and assist clinicians and referral teams at the point of care delivery by enhancing data and workflow connectivity.
- Technology: “We’re honored to provide the enabling point-of-care technology platform for Anthem and their provider partners,” said Oron Afek, CEO and Co-Founder of Vim. “We believe scalable technology connections are a critical part of the successful payer-provider collaboration, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with such dedicated organizations to improve healthcare performance in California.”
- Expansion: Vim’s solution integrates into existing workflows and expands a referring practitioner’s vantage point on specialist network status, proximity to patient home, relevant clinical experience, and historical cost and quality performance, with a focus on provider experience. Vim’s industry-leading integration technology will allow this solution to be deployed across PSJHS’s vast range of practice settings for the most impact with the least amount of provider implementation effort.
- Performance: “As the urgency increases for quality and cost performance in healthcare, Anthem is committed to supporting our provider partners with innovative enablement technology,” said John Pickett, Regional Vice President for Provider Solutions at Anthem. “PSJHS is an ideal provider to show what is possible with the right data, technology, and payer collaboration. We know our members will benefit from better care thanks to the work we are doing together.”
- Network: “Our wide and diverse network of providers share a commitment to quality and affordability, and Anthem’s program is a natural fit in our continued journey towards value,” said Prub Khurana, Chief Executive and Chief Strategy Officer of PSJHS. “Anthem and Vim’s technology will allow us to provide sophisticated referral optimization capabilities to providers across our network to succeed by meaningfully moving the needle on quality and cost at scale.”
