Healthify Announces Partnership with Altruista Health to Enable Payors Address SDoH

Healthify creates an infrastructure that enables collaboration among healthcare payors, community-based organizations, providers, and policymakers to address social disparities with aligned incentives and accountability.

FREMONT, CA: Healthify, a company that works with managed care organizations to integrate social determinants of health (SDoH) into the healthcare ecosystem, declared that its technology would be included in Altruista Health's care management platform, GuidingCare, in order to help health plans efficiently and seamlessly address SDoH.

Healthify creates an infrastructure that enables collaboration among healthcare payors, community-based organizations, providers, and policymakers to address social disparities with accountability and .aligned incentives. Altruista will integrate Healthify into its GuidingCare platform in order to help health plans more effectively address SDoH – nonclinical factors such as housing instability, poverty, and food insecurity that impact health outcomes.

"Health plans rely on care management platforms to coordinate healthcare services for members. This is especially important for people who either have or are at risk for developing complex medical conditions. However, previous care management technologies have primarily focused on clinical care," stated Manik Bhat, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Healthify. "SDoH significantly impact health outcomes as well, and it's imperative that they are not overlooked as part of whole-person care. We are proud to collaborate with Altruista to incorporate SDoH into care management strategies to improve member outcomes by simultaneously addressing both clinical and social needs."

"Many payors prefer to offer a unified technology platform access point and user experience to drive all care management workflows," stated Craig Wigginton, Chief Technology Officer at Altruista Health. "Integrating Healthify's technology into GuidingCare will enable care managers to identify, refer, confirm delivery and track outcomes for the social services needs of their members and stay on the GuidingCare platform. Social determinants providers continue to work in Healthify and no one has to worry about mastering two different platforms."
