Covera Health
Covera Health builds diagnostic intelligence technology to unlock and deliver powerful insights throughout the care continuum.
Challenge
How do you reduce medical errors and improve patient care?
Approach
Covera is solving one of the most impactful and challenging problems in healthcare today: ensuring patients get the right diagnosis at the right time, which gives them the best chance of a successful health outcome.
The company partners with physicians and empowers them with actionable, clinically-validated quality insights, which are used to drive better patient care.
Through this collaboration, Covera helps payers reduce medical expenses related to unnecessary and misdirected care and supports value-based care programs.
We partnered with the company to spotlight Covera’s quality analytics platform, which leverages advanced data science and artificial intelligence, improves outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions and diseases, from musculoskeletal and spinal conditions to breast and lung cancers.
Impact
We supported Covera’s partnership announcement with Nuance Communications, Inc., to introduce the Quality Care Collaborative (QCC), the first national program that brings together payors, providers, and self-insured employers to support radiology quality improvement initiatives at scale.
The QCC joins Covera’s clinical intelligence platform and Nuance’s Precision Imaging Network™ to enable providers, payors, and employers to work together in a trusted and secure setting on long-term, sustainable quality improvement programs, peer-learning initiatives, and value-based care efforts
Through Covera’s Patient Safety Organization (PSO), which is certified by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), clinicians can optionally share data with and receive insights from the QCC to improve care quality in a safe and trusted environment. PSO data receives increased protection against discovery and restricts any sharing with payors.
All radiology practices in participating payors’ networks can opt-in to the QCC at no cost to them to gain seamless access to a growing suite of quality analytics and clinically validated AI tools to augment existing quality improvement programs.
Participating payors and self-insured employers can achieve improved quality and better outcomes for their member populations and the best value for their healthcare dollars.
“What we’re able to deliver with Nuance represents a paradigm shift in how payors, self-insured employers, and providers partner in their efforts to improve care quality for their members, employees, and patients. At the same time, the ability to deliver AI-powered quality insights on demand, at scale, and within clinical workflows, fundamentally enhances the way AI is used in radiology to improve patient outcomes.”
