FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Strategic Partnership to Drive Transformative Outcomes and Reduced Medical Costs for Healthcare Payers
DENVER, CO and SEATTLE, WA — June 7, 2016 — Softheon Technologies, a leading cloud-based prescriptive analytics and consumer engagement platform company, and Point B, an integrated management consulting, venture investment, and property development firm, announced they have entered into a multiyear agreement to deploy the Softheon managed services solution to drive transformative outcomes and reduced medical costs for their healthcare clients.
Industry drivers such as cost compression and the impacts of the Affordable Care Act are increasingly forcing health plans to seek solutions with which they can scientifically prove and measure outcomes. “Softheon has clearly established itself in a class of its own in terms of providing causal medical cost savings through an effective analytics and consumer engagement platform,” said John Bjornson, Point B President Point B Capital. “We became a Softheon investor last year and are thrilled to see our introduction of Softheon to Point B Consulting has led to a strategic agreement.”
“Driving medical cost savings is not easy. It requires full organizational support, and is transformative for most at risk organizations. Point B has the executive relationships and managed services experience to drive speed to value,” said Eric Grossman, CEO of Softheon.
