Arlington-based Privia Health Group has partnered with New York-based Navina, an AI-powered primary care platform, in a strategic move to improve primary healthcare services.
This collaboration is set to streamline workflows and provide valuable support to healthcare providers within Privia's extensive network.
Dr. Keith Fernandez, chief clinical officer at Privia Health, stated, "We are excited to introduce this partnership, providing advanced tools to our valued physicians and providers. These tools are carefully crafted to simplify their day-to-day tasks by significantly reducing the time spent on tedious activities like sorting through extensive patient records."
Navina's AI platform has gained attention for its high physician satisfaction rates and smooth integration of Electronic Health Records (EHR) technology. It enhances patient visits by offering clinical evidence and aiding healthcare professionals in making well-informed decisions regarding patient care.
Privia Health, on the other hand, focuses on supporting primary care and multispecialty groups in transitioning smoothly into value-based care. Their mission is centered around enhancing healthcare experiences for both patients and professionals.
Ronen Lavi, cofounder and CEO of Navina, acknowledged that, saying "A provider-patient interaction is a significant opportunity to improve patient health. However, the extensive patient data and growing administrative burden can overshadow this essential relationship. Primary care physicians, the frontline heroes of healthcare, are under mounting stress due to information overload, financial pressures, and the looming threat of burnout."
As per Navina, with 4,700 users across 500 clinics using its services, to enhance workflows and 2.8 million patient profiles generated to date, Navina's recommendations have shown an acceptance rate of 74% across various categories and significantly reduced chart review time by 61%.
As for the other, Privia Health(TM) is a technology-driven, national physician enablement company that collaborates with medical groups, health plans, and health systems to enhance physician practice. It also improves patient experiences, and rewards doctors for providing high-value healthcare. With scalable operations and end-to-end, cloud-based technology, their platform reduces unnecessary healthcare costs, achieves better outcomes, and improves health of patients and providers.
AI technology has made inroads in various fields, across countries and healthcare seems just the perfect match. For instance, there have been a lot of healthcare advancements that have happened recently in the field of AI technology. Case in point includes, GE Healthcare and Mass General Brigham partnered to co-develop AI-algorithms to increase operational efficiency and productivity in healthcare.
