US-based healthcare company Aetna has introduced a new business unit brand called Healthagen, which advances its provider collaboration and consumer empowerment strategy.
Healthagen, which tackles the fundamental needs of greater value, coordination and transparency in health care, uses Aetna's population health management solutions and health information technologies from businesses, which include ActiveHealth Management, iTriage and Medicity.
Healthagen also develops new businesses to address provider and consumer needs.
Aetna National Businesses senior executive vice president Joseph Zubretsky said the firm is moving to bring a meaningful change in health care.
"We have invested more than $1 billion to acquire and build a comprehensive collection of health management and health IT solutions to empower consumers and enable clinical integration and population health management."
Healthagen serves providers, employers, payers and consumers by securely connecting and enabling more than 800 hospitals and 250,000 physicians with Medicity technology to exchange and act on health information.
The process also helps in advancing new models of value-based, accountable care, including 18 accountable care relationships with leading health systems and more than 65 Medicare Provider Collaborations.
