Answer Health Goes Live with Lightbeam Health Solutions

Grand Rapids, Michigan-based clinically integrated organization with over 90,000 at-risk patients leverages Lightbeam for population health management initiatives to improve quality and reduce costs

IRVING, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CEO–Answer Health strives to improve care in all areas and offer patients the best outcomes possible. By systematically supporting adherence to clinical pathways and performance standards, Answer Health helps ensure their patients are receiving the highest quality, most appropriate level of care. To support their mission and standards, Answer Health has successfully deployed a population health management platform from Lightbeam Health Solutions.

With Lightbeam, Answer Health is managing nine Medicare and commercial contracts totaling over 90,000 at-risk patients. They are using Lightbeam’s population health management platform to:

  • Improve visibility across payer contracts
  • Identify cost and quality inefficiencies
  • Reduce ER and IP utilization
  • Close gaps in care and improve quality across measure programs

Answer Health will leverage Lightbeam’s ability to aggregate data from a variety of sources and consume health information from regional health information exchanges (HIE). This capability allows engagement and patient monitoring for those recently discharged from hospitals and acute care facilities.

“Lightbeam is a key partner in our efforts to integrate clinical performance data across hundreds of independent practice sites and to provide the best care and value to our patients,” said Dr. Khan Nedd, CEO of Answer Health.

“We are thrilled to have Answer Health join Lightbeam,” said Pat Cline, CEO of Lightbeam Health Solutions. “We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Answer as they improve patient care, support providers, and pursue their corporate vision.”
