Boston, MA, February 26, 2015 — par8o, Healthcare’s Operating System, today announced that WellHealth Quality Care (WellHealth), Nevada’s first accountable care network, has launched the company’s EMR-agnostic platform to provide a seamless transition-in-care process for all WellHealth members. par8o’s platform enables clinical coordination across the network in order to enhance the member experience, manage costs and deliver high-quality care. WellHealth is the latest of a growing number of organizations in Nevada to adopt par8o, with others including the largest employer in the state, MGM Resorts.

“WellHealth is dedicated to providing our members access to a highly-qualified network of physicians,” said Dr. K Warren Volker, Chairman, and CEO of WellHealth Quality Care. “Physicians must be able to exchange health information easily in order to provide the best care possible, and par8o enables them to do so easily and effectively.”

WellHealth is partnering with payer groups such as the Nevada Health CO-OP to bring Nevada residents an efficient healthcare delivery system. WellHealth provides all medical specialties, from primary care and pediatrics, to neurosurgery and obstetrics. By utilizing the par8o platform, WellHealth’s network physicians will have a simplified workflow, ensuring that patients have access to the right physician at the right time.

“WellHealth is leading the way in quality based, efficient, and patient-centric health care initiatives,” said Nicole Flora, MD, Chief Medical Officer at the Nevada Health CO-OP. “The WellHealth provider network is composed of the area’s finest medical professionals, and by using par8o’s platform it is delivering high-quality, coordinated care to patients across the state.”

par8o’s Healthcare Operating System empowers healthcare organizations to optimize their networks of providers and other resources to deliver quality care by applying one of the most powerful and proven principles in economics: Pareto Optimization. This approach and the EMR-agnostic technologies par8o has developed to deploy it, are well-suited to the complex, multi-constituency nature of healthcare because they achieve continuous efficiency improvements while balancing the needs of all parties.

“Innovative new healthcare models, like WellHealth, are gaining a foothold in the industry, but there remains a significant need to bridge technology gaps to connect patients appropriately to the services they need, when they need them,” said Adam Sharp, MD, co-founder, President and CMO of par8o. “par8o provides a smarter application of technology that promotes easy communication between referring and receiving physicians. Together, par8o and WellHealth are moving toward a streamlined patient experience that is quality-driven and strategically focused.”
