Firstsource has announced a strategic partnership with US-based Guidehealth, a technology-driven health services platform.

The collaboration would equip health plans to deliver measurable value for members and providers by accelerating the adoption of next-generation, outcome-driven care models and preventive care.

Guidehealth helps in value-based care innovation, helping payers and providers shift to models that reward quality, efficiency, and improved patient outcomes, the release said. 

The platform uses analytics, clinical know-how, and AI to assist health plans in enhancing care coordination, reducing costs, and increasing member satisfaction within the first year, the statement claimed. 

“By integrating intelligent automation, deep domain expertise, and a human-first mindset, we’re enabling health plans to deliver smarter, more personalised, and outcomes-driven care at scale,” Venkatgiri Vandali, said, head of healthcare & lifesciences at Firstsource. “Together, we’re orchestrating a new era of healthcare transformation.”

Meanwhile, Sanjay Doddamani, MD & CEO of Guidehealth, stated that the company is dedicated to making quality healthcare accessible and affordable for everyone.
