Highmark Health and ChristianaCare are launching a new joint venture that aims to harness data to accelerate value-based, equitable care.
The joint company, which has yet to be named, will take advantage of the strengths of both companies to drive toward more accessible and affordable care. Karen Hanlon, chief operating officer at Highmark Health, said on a call with reporters Wednesday that the venture aims to disrupt the traditional dynamic between payers and providers for greater collaboration.
"For decades, healthcare in the United States has been a tug of war between payers and providers," Hanlon said.
