Hello Health to Partner with Orange Health Solutions

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hello Health® and Orange Health Solutions have announced a partnership that will bring Hello Health's no-cost electronic health record (EHR) and patient portal to Orange Health's growing national network of accountable care organizations (ACOs). The actionable clinical and financial data from Hello Health's web-based technology platform, combined with Orange Health's proactive care coordination and medical cost management solution gives group medical practices and independent primary care physicians a complete set of tools to promote value-based care.

Orange Health Solutions operates an outsourced practice support center that coordinates care for patients by providing health coaches for those with chronic conditions that have a high risk for complications or hospitalization. Patients in the Orange Health network will now have access to Hello Health's comprehensive portal for an easy, on-demand connection to front-line caregivers. Additionally, the clinical and financial data from Hello Health's EHR will give those front-line providers and Orange Health's patient advocate team more ammunition to promote care compliance and improve outcomes along the care continuum. 

"This partnership makes sense on a number of levels," said Hello Health Founder and CEO Nathanial Findlay. "As the industry puts more emphasis on risk-sharing models, providers will need solutions that add an analytic component to clinical care within an integrated network. Hello Health brings the necessary data and technology to this equation, and Orange Health brings the hands-on, service component."

The partnership will bring the combined solution to more than 2,000 practices around the country.

"We are excited to partner with Hello Health, not only because of the state-of-the art-tools it brings to our physicians but also because of the company's philosophy about interoperability," said Nicole Bradberry, president and chief operating officer of Orange Health Solutions. "Hello Health is willing to freely share data amongst all caregivers in the continuum, regardless of the EHR solution the provider is using.  Not all EHR vendors are willing to do this."
