[Boise, ID, April 2, 2024] - Switchboard Health, creator of a high-value specialty care network and software platform, and CareJourney, the market leader in provider cost and quality data, have partnered to deliver an integrated set of offerings to support value-based care providers and health plans. These offerings are improving specialty care navigation and supporting the successful transition to value-based specialty care.

Switchboard Health's platform includes a provider matching engine to identify best-fit specialists for patients in need of care. Switchboard has integrated CareJourney’s unique, data-driven cost and quality scores into its software so that referral coordinators and care navigators can quickly and effectively guide patients to high-value specialists. 

“It’s extremely helpful to see the CareJourney cost and quality scores within the Switchboard,” says Logan Steele, Chief Operating Officer at Physicians Care Centers. “Thanks to this partnership, our team members can quickly identify the right specialty care providers to care for PCC patients.”

Health plans and provider groups nationwide are already benefiting from this integrated solution. As many of these same clients prepare to design and implement value-based specialty agreements, they’ll benefit from CareJourney’s advanced analytics data and services, plus Switchboard’s referral connectivity platform and contract administration capabilities.

“We are thrilled to welcome Switchboard Health to the ecosystem of healthcare innovators relying on CareJourney's best-in-market cost, quality, and outcomes analytics. Our Provider Intelligence engine creates 300+ episodes of care across 50+ specialties and subspecialties. This coupled with Switchboard Health's platform will empower organizations to more seamlessly develop and utilize high-value specialty networks. " said Dan Ross, CEO of CareJourney.
