Medecision has announced a strategic partnership with Sendero Health Plans, a nonprofit health maintenance organization (HMO) based in Central Texas. This collaboration aims to enhance care coordination and improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations across the region. By integrating Medecision’s advanced technology platforms into Sendero’s operations, the partnership is set to address significant care gaps faced by members with complex medical and social needs.
Focus on Improved Care Coordination
The partnership will leverage Medecision’s Data & Intelligence Platform, Care Management Platform, and Guided Health Journeys to engage members more effectively and streamline coordination among local healthcare providers. The initiative seeks to improve access to medical care and deliver personalized interventions tailored to individual needs.
Sendero Health Plans, which was established in 2011, is dedicated to offering member-focused health services and community-based programs. Sharon Alvis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sendero, emphasized that this partnership reflects the organization’s commitment to enhancing value for its members while addressing the health challenges faced by communities, especially those at higher risk.
Driving Health Improvement and Cost Efficiency
Kenneth Young, Chief Executive Officer of Medecision, stated that this collaboration aligns with the company’s mission to promote equitable access to healthcare and improve overall health in the region. He noted that Medecision’s platforms are designed to reduce both medical and administrative costs, which is increasingly critical as health plans confront rising expenses and heightened expectations for patient outcomes.
Medecision operates as a subsidiary of Health Care Service Corporation and provides technology solutions to health plans and care organizations across the United States. Its clinical data platform supports care delivery for over 42 million individuals nationwide.
This partnership comes at a time when nonprofit and regional health plans are increasingly turning to technology-driven solutions to manage costs and improve health outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations. By focusing on coordinated care and data-driven insights, Medecision and Sendero aim to create a more effective healthcare environment in Central Texas.
