Episode: 157 - Dr. Julian Harris on How ConcertoCare Reshapes Healthcare Delivery and Provides Holistic Care to Vulnerable and Senior Patients with Multiple Complex Conditions

08/16/22 • 35 min

Healthcare’s most vulnerable patients meet a fragmented system when they seek to simultaneously address chronic comorbidities, behavioral health challenges, and social needs (i.e., navigating access to food, transportation, and housing). In response, ConcertoCare employs a multidisciplinary team and offers an integrated approach to clinical care, behavioral health, and social services. The organization takes its name from a musical composition involving a soloist and an orchestra. With ConcertoCare, the patient (soloist) and interdisciplinary team (orchestra) work in tandem to meet the patient's needs beyond clinical care. Chairman and CEO Julian Harris, MD, MBA, talks with Breaking Health host Steve Krupa about the company’s clinical model, delivering exceptional care backed by technology and data, developing a brick-and-mortar health center, and its role in helping senior patients receive in-home care for as long as possible.

Episode 156: CEO Siva Namasivayam on Cohere Health’s Mission to Use Digital Health Technology for the Transformation of Utilization Management into Proper Care Management

Payers and providers spend unnecessary time and energy approving medical and diagnostic procedures. CEO and Co-Founder Siva Namasivayam, believing that the digital health market has yet to leverage the full power of technology, launched Cohere Health in 2019 to transform utilization management into proper care management. Cohere Health employs individual and cohort medical data, records, and proprietary algorithms to generate approvals for nearly 90% of authorization requests. Evidence suggests that Siva and his team will soon realize their goal of a 96% approval rate. With more automatic approvals, providers can focus on what matters most while patients receive timely and appropriate care. Additionally, payers experience up to 15% savings when Cohere Health suggests cost-effective yet high-quality alternative treatment options. Siva and his team serve over 5.5 million members and approximately 100,000 physician offices today.
