Strategic Partnership with Aridhia Informatics
10 March 2015 - Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in automated revenue integrity solutions for the US healthcare market, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Aridhia Informatics ("Aridhia"), the Edinburgh-based health informatics company.
This partnership will enable Craneware to offer Aridhia's core services which includes their collaborative analytics platform, data science service and app development capability to Craneware's extensive client base on an exclusive basis. With solutions that focus on patient outcomes, this partnership supports Craneware's US healthcare offering and extends Aridhia's healthcare client base outside the UK, Australia and Kuwait.
During the last 15 years, one quarter of all registered US hospitals have chosen Craneware's medical billing software solutions to assist them on their journey to improved financial performance and revenue integrity. This partnership with Aridhia will support these hospitals' growing requirement for informatics solutions at a time when a growing number of medical insurers are moving away from fee-for-service towards performance-based reimbursement.
Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware plc commented, "We are pleased to bring the analytics agility platform to our client base, offering Aridhia's expertise in utilising clients' data to improve patient outcomes."
David Sibbald, CEO of Aridhia, said: "US healthcare providers have traditionally focused on financial outcomes and cutting costs but they are increasingly adopting a patient centric approach which will, in turn, have a positive effect on their bottom line. Craneware works with some of the biggest healthcare providers in the US so we're very pleased to be partnering with them and using our integrated healthcare informatics solutions to deliver better operational results for the Craneware customer, hospitals and therefore, better health outcomes for their patients."
