Healthify, a digital platform that provides end-to-end solutions to address social determinants of health has been renamed as WellSky Social Care Coordination, according to WellSky, leading health and community care technology firm. In 2021, WellSky bought Healthify as part of its goal to help payers, providers, health systems, and community groups better coordinate care.
Healthcare is changing at a breakneck speed. Payers and providers are not only recognizing the importance of social care. Still, they are also implementing new solutions to evaluate social risk in their communities and eliminate socioeconomic obstacles that prevent patients from obtaining the high-quality treatment they deserve. More than just a rebranding, WellSky Social Care Coordination brings together Healthify's industry expertise and cutting-edge technology with WellSky's network of 20,000 community and home-based care providers to enhance population health outcomes and promote health equality.
“Integrating social care across the continuum is no longer an option. Instead, it’s a necessity. Technology has changed the way payers, CBOs, and consumers interact with one another. As a result, we must focus on infrastructure and interoperability to promote and facilitate more effective cross-sector collaboration. WellSky Social Care Coordination will bridge these traditionally siloed systems and help strengthen WellSky’s relationships with key partners.”
Bill Miller, CEO of WellSky
The Social Care Coordination solution provides a comprehensive national social services directory, predictive analytics for assessing social risk, and customizable and curated social care provider networks. These tools allow for more targeted interventions that address socioeconomic barriers to health and wellness on a community level.
WellSky Social Care Coordination is HITRUST Certified and supports cross-sector data-sharing and interoperable closed-loop referral capabilities. With a national database of more than 400,000 social service organizations and a network of more than 20,000 community- and home-based providers, WellSky Social Care Coordination has facilitated countless relationships between healthcare and community partners to support whole-person care across the continuum.
Manik Bhat, co-founder and CEO of Healthify was named WellSky’s vice president of SDoH operations and sales. Bhat leads the development and execution of strategic social care initiatives across WellSky.
“We will continue to work with payers, providers, and community-based organizations to create innovative solutions,” said Bhat. “This is an exciting time in healthcare as policies and regulations evolve to incorporate SDoH into the healthcare system. We look forward to working collaboratively across the healthcare and social services sector to make a generational impact on
