Carrum Health and Vizient, Inc. have formed a strategic agreement to rapidly expand access to high-quality, affordable care for self-insured employers and their employees. Employers using Carrum Health’s Centers of Excellence platform will now have greater access to quality care through high-value providers affiliated with Vizient member healthcare systems, which includes more than half of the nation’s hospitals including 97% of academic medical centers. The agreement enables Carrum Health to dramatically accelerate expansion of its regionalized Center of Excellence (COE) marketplace and more efficiently apply its quality analysis to evaluate potential COEs to join the Carrum Health platform.
“As a long-standing Carrum Health partner, we value the benefits Carrum brings to our Associates’ healthcare plans,” said Joe Toniolo, senior director of health and welfare plans at US Foods. “Carrum continuously seeks to deliver the most innovative and high-quality programs and we are looking forward to the next evolution of their offerings made possible through their strategic partnership with Vizient.”
Carrum Health will leverage Vizient’s industry-leading analytics to provide value-based insights regarding high-quality, affordable care for self-insured employers.
“Vizient shares Carrum Health’s commitment to the delivery of appropriate, high-quality care. Carrum’s COE solution manages costs for employers and employees and incentivizes participation by healthcare providers as more employers buy into the marketplace approach,” said Jeff Hayes, Executive Director of Vizient’s Direct to Employer Solutions. “We chose Carrum Health for their approach to working with providers and because they have an established track record in this fast-growing market.”
