WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolent Health
(NYSE: EVH), a company providing an integrated value-based care
platform to the nation's leading health systems and physician
organizations, today announced it is providing Torrance Health IPA
(THIPA) and Torrance Memorial Integrated Physicians (TMIP) with its
IdentifiSM population health performance management
platform and Risk Adjustment solution to help enhance performance
across Torrance's network of 500
providers in the Los Angeles metro
area. THIPA and TMIP collectively manage more than 20,000 Medicare
Advantage and Next Generation ACO lives.
"We are delighted to work with Evolent to offer such a scalable
risk adjustment solution and wealth of expertise to our providers,"
said Torrance Health IPA Senior Vice President Chris Rogers. "Our providers and support staff
have already gained invaluable experience and appreciate having an
easy-to-use solution that enables them to code accurately and
completely. Ultimately, these improved workflows will help ensure
we are reimbursed appropriately for the care we provide to our
community."
Torrance providers, coders and
staff are leveraging Evolent's Risk Adjustment solution to
streamline coding workflows across the Torrance provider network. This includes using
the Identifi Practice platform to take advantage of
technology-assisted chart review. In addition, Torrance is working closely with Evolent to
deploy new Patient Assessment Forms (PAFs) and gauge the expected
value of risk coding gap closures.
"We are excited to partner with Torrance Health IPA and Torrance
Memorial Integrated Physicians—organizations with strong
reputations for improving the health and well-being of thousands of
California residents," said
Evolent Health Chief Executive Officer Frank Williams. "Our Risk Adjustment solution
has helped a wide range of our partner organizations code
accurately, which is important to the integrity of clinical data as
well as reimbursement. Torrance
has a solid footprint in its market, and we look forward to
exploring additional opportunities to advance Torrance's value-based care business across
multiple patient populations."
Evolent's Risk Adjustment solution offers provider organizations
a comprehensive set of prospective and retrospective services and
