Providers across the nation are continuing their work to make value-based care at scale a reality. One of the most recent examples of this comes from Emory Healthcare in Atlanta — on Monday, the health system announced a partnership with Dallas-based startup Guidehealth designed to help value-based primary care reach more than 350,000 patients across Georgia.
Guidehealth, founded in 2023, is a value-based care enablement company. It was founded by two healthcare veterans — one being Sanjay Doddamani, the former CEO of value-based care startup Upstream, and the other being Michael Gleeson, Arcadia’s former chief strategy and innovation officer.
The co-founders launched Guidehealth last year as a response to the need for technology that helps health systems succeed in value-based care arrangements while still maintaining financial stability, Doddamani said. The startup helps health systems scale value-based care by providing staff, technology and expertise to augment their existing systems, he explained.
