Syntax Health and CareJourney Announce Partnership to Scale Value-based Care

Data integration will further enhance the first and only two-sided SaaS actuarial platform for VBC

Atlanta, GA—February 26, 2024—Syntax Health, the first and only two-sided SaaS actuarial platform for value-based care (VBC) modeling and contracting, and CareJourney, the market leader in healthcare provider cost and quality data, have announced a data partnership designed to offer providers and payers significant supplemental data to model VBC opportunities and reach agreements. This will be accomplished by integrating CareJourney’s provider and market insights into Syntax’s VBC modeling and contracting platform. The integrated solution will be available to payer and provider design partners as early as Q2 2024, and available to all Syntax clients soon after.

The partnership solves a real market need: providers and payers need access to reliable data and advanced modeling tools to make critical business decisions such as new market expansion and negotiating VBC proposals. Syntax integrated with CareJourney solves for the unknown, de-risking clinical and financial outcomes.

Sample use cases include:

• The Syntax platform supplemented with CareJourney data can model unit cost, risk, and more and allow providers to weigh proposals with sound actuarial assumptions. This will help provider organizations considering new markets or trying to understand how much opportunity there is in a payer’s VBC proposal.
• The Syntax platform supplemented with CareJourney data can model VBC contracts with historical claims and provider data, as well as aggregated QECP benchmarking, allowing payers to grow their VBC footprint with sound actuarial assumptions. This will help payers who need help integrating VBC-savings into trends and bids, testing ACO program changes from CMS, or modeling new market opportunities.

“I’m thrilled to partner with CareJourney to offer Syntax clients critical supplemental data to make intelligent value-based care decisions. Our partnership makes sense because CareJourney’s provider cost and quality data will enrich the insights Syntax enables. It’s the right next step in Syntax’s mission to fundamentally change the way VBC teams work, enabling them to automate and accelerate the design and implementation of value-based programs,” said Rachael Jones, Founder and CEO at Syntax.

“CareJourney’s robust provider profiles driven by detailed cost and quality metrics, combined with Syntax’s sophisticated contract modeling platform, address a critical gap in the market for a comprehensive solution. This partnership offers VBC organizations the foresight and confidence they need to make informed decisions regarding market growth, network expansion, and provider contracts,” stated Kevin Sheldon, COO of CareJourney. “I am excited about this collaboration, as it signifies a significant step forward in empowering healthcare organizations with the tools they need to succeed in this dynamic landscape.”
