DALLAS, October 17, 2024 – Palomar Health, a leading healthcare system providing services in North San Diego County, CA, and IKS Health, a provider of technology-enabled healthcare solutions and related services including a care enablement platform supporting large health systems and physician enterprises across the U.S., Canada and Australia have entered into a multi-year partnership. The partnership, which carries into the next decade, is designed to leverage advanced technology , powered by Gen AI, and related services aimed at enabling Palomar Health Medical Group to build a strong foundation for the future of ambulatory healthcare services across the greater San Diego area.
By leveraging the full portfolio of IKS’s Care Enablement Platform, Palomar Health will streamline care delivery by reducing existing administrative burden, improving patient access and the overall patient experience, boosting efficiency, and improving overall financial performance. The platform will also enable Palomar Health to more prospectively manage their patient population that carries a risk component to their payer arrangement.
“Partnering with IKS Health unlocks immediate financial benefits that enable us to invest in technology-enabled solutions and related services which will provide much needed enhancements to the overall outpatient experience, enhancing our position as one of the world’s best health systems”, said Diane Hansen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Palomar Health.
“We are thrilled to support Palomar Health by taking on the administrative, clinical, and operational burdens through the use of our full technology and services portfolio, freeing their physicians to focus fully on delivering patient-centered care and enhancing the patient experience. Using the full platform multiplies the benefits that are realized as compared to when our solutions are used on their own,” said Sachin Gupta, Founder and CEO of IKS Health.
