ZeOmega Helps Healthcare Provider Reach and Manage Critically Ill Patients

PLANO, Texas, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeOmega^®, the leading population health management organization, announced today that value-based integrated healthcare provider AbsoluteCare has selected ZeOmega's Jiva platform to fulfill its needs for comprehensive care management, utilization management, and clinical assessment support. AbsoluteCare goes beyond medicine™ to treat the most chronically ill and vulnerable patients and ZeOmega's tools, designed to identify insights about these populations, will improve outcomes and support AbsoluteCare's member-centric model.

It is well known that much of today's unplanned and nonproductive medical care stems from a lack of connectivity between care providers, care management and other aspects of patient healthcare. Studies show that earlier interventions and proactive care are key to reducing preventable, ambulatory care sensitive hospital visits and their associated costs. Jiva will equip AbsoluteCare with a comprehensive platform to guide care delivery and get ahead of health issues.

Serving members in their comprehensive care centers and neighborhood communities, AbsoluteCare will leverage Jiva to connect its diverse and robust provider network and interdisciplinary care teams to address medical, pharmacy, behavioral, and social determinants of health needs (SDOH).

"This partnership represents a milestone for AbsoluteCare, and we are excited to have found a tool that can power our unique care model that allows us to go beyond medicine to serve our vulnerable members across our diverse communities," said Mike Radu, AbsoluteCare CEO. "We are impressed with Jiva's functionality as well as the team's dedication to grow with us and look forward to what this engagement will do for our members and the managed care organizations we work with."

"This partnership with AbsoluteCare formally solidifies our position in, and value to, the healthcare provider market, and further illustrates the depth and breadth of Jiva's capabilities to effectively serve both payers and providers," said ZeOmega CEO Sam Rangaswamy. "Having a chance to support AbsoluteCare in impacting so many people facing multiple chronic health conditions and improve their lives, while preventing extraneous costs, is truly rewarding."
