Astrana Health, Inc. announced a strategic partnership with Elation Health. Astrana and Elation will partner to empower primary care providers in value-based care. In partnership, the organizations plan to scale risk-bearing entities, including accountable care organizations and clinically integrated networks, anchored by existing and future affiliate providers.

Together, the organizations will support independent physicians with the tools to deliver coordinated, high-quality care and to successfully participate in value-based care arrangements. Specifically, for providers in these risk-bearing entities, Elation will provide its EHR platform, practice transformation, and billing technology. Meanwhile, as the exclusive care enablement partner for these risk-bearing entities, Astrana will deploy its value-based care platform and enablement solutions, including value-based contracting and credentialing, AI-driven population health analytics, its NCQA-certified HEDIS gaps in care engine, care management and disease management platform, and other administrative services, such as billing, coding, and call center solutions.

To demonstrate its commitment to this innovative new venture, Astrana has agreed to provide its Care Enablement platform to support an existing provider organization in Hawai'i as a first example of a model that closely integrates Elation's EHR technology with Astrana's value-based care infrastructure and care management capabilities. Jointly, the two organizations will work with a group of over 100 primary care providers serving over 20,000 primarily Medicare patients in the Hawai'i market and support the group as it continues to grow while investing in high-quality, high-value, accessible primary and multi-specialty care. Astrana will serve as the group's exclusive care enablement provider, with providers anticipated to onboard into its Care Enablement platform by the end of third quarter of 2024.
