Alliance Behavioral Healthcare Selects Jiva™ as Its Population Health Management Platform
Durham-based MCO to Manage More Than 200,000 Medicaid-eligible North Carolinians with Solution from ZeOmega®
PLANO, Texas, Sept. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance Behavioral Healthcare, a managed care organization (MCO) based in Durham, NC, has chosen Jiva from ZeOmega as its new population health management platform. Responsible for more than 200,000 high-risk and underserved residents of North Carolina's Durham, Wake, Cumberland, and Johnston counties, Alliance will use Jiva to manage services across its network of nearly 2,200 providers.
Alliance manages publicly funded behavioral health services for Medicaid-eligible and uninsured North Carolinians with mental health conditions, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and substance use issues. In the early stages of its implementation, Jiva will help Alliance track and analyze provider performance, identify high-risk and underserved members, and manage resources to combat the growing opioid epidemic.
"As an organization, we have made a strong commitment to data-driven population health management, whole person integrated care, and innovation in care coordination," says Alliance Chief Executive Officer Rob Robinson. "Among the tools available to help us realize these goals, Jiva was the right choice for Alliance."
Jiva offers a scalable, flexible solution that supports virtually any population health management need, including data aggregation and integration, evidence-based risk assessment and management, patient-centered care delivery, and care coordination across the continuum. Jiva HIE helps organizations overcome perennial interoperability issues, enabling the integration and bidirectional sharing of data with both electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchanges (HIEs). Alliance plans eventually to leverage this capability to integrate its system with the state HIE.
ZeOmega Founder and Chief Executive Officer Sam Rangaswamy welcomes the partnership with Alliance as an opportunity to highlight Jiva's potential for integrating physical and behavioral health data. "Whole person integrated care requires weighing all the factors that influence a member's health, including social determinants. Jiva gives MCOs like Alliance a solution that actually makes that possible."
