Rebrand reinforces WellSky’s commitment to remove social barriers and bridge the gap between healthcare and social services through integrated coordinated care solutions
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — March 21, 2022 — WellSky, a leading health and community care technology company, today announced that Healthify, a technology platform providing end-to-end solutions to address social determinants of health (SDoH), has rebranded to WellSky Social Care Coordination. WellSky acquired Healthify in 2021 as part of its commitment to facilitate better care coordination between payers, providers, health systems, and community organizations.
Healthcare is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Payers and providers are not only recognizing the value of social care, but are employing innovative solutions to assess their populations’ social risk and remove the socioeconomic barriers that prevent patients from accessing and receiving the quality care they deserve. More than a name change, WellSky Social Care Coordination merges Healthify’s industry experience and unmatched technology with WellSky’s network of 20,000 community and home-based care providers to improve population health outcomes and promote health equity.
“Integrating social care across the continuum is no longer an option, it’s a necessity,” said Bill Miller, CEO of WellSky. “Technology has changed the way payers, CBOs, and consumers interact with one another, and as such, we must focus on infrastructure and interoperability so we can both promote and facilitate more effective cross-sector collaboration. WellSky Social Care Coordination will bridge these traditionally siloed systems and help strengthen WellSky’s relationships with key partners.”
The Social Care Coordination solution provides a comprehensive national directory of social services, predictive analytics for assessing social risk, and customizable and curated social care provider networks. These tools allow for more targeted interventions that address socioeconomic barriers to health and wellness on a community level.
WellSky Social Care Coordination is HITRUST Certified and supports cross-sector data-sharing and interoperable closed-loop referral capabilities. With a national database of more than 400,000 social service organizations and network of more than 20,000 community- and home-based providers, WellSky Social Care Coordination has facilitated countless relationships between healthcare and community partners to support whole-person care across the continuum.
Manik Bhat, co-founder and CEO of Healthify, was named WellSky’s vice president of SDoH operations and sales. Bhat leads the development and execution of strategic social care initiatives across WellSky.
“We will continue to work with payers, providers, and community-based organizations to create innovative solutions,” said Bhat. “This is an exciting time in healthcare as policies and regulations are evolving to incorporate SDoH into the healthcare system. We look forward to working collaboratively across the healthcare and social services sector to make a generational impact on population health outcomes.”
