OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – WellSky has entered into a definitive agreement to buy Healthify, a company that connects health care organizations with social services organizations to address social determinants of health. Together, WellSky and Healthify will connect providers across and within communities to identify social needs, search for social services and coordinate care with an accountable network of community partners to improve outcomes and remove social barriers to health and wellness, according to a press release. “With the addition of Healthify, WellSky adds yet another crucial capability to our expansive portfolio and further strengthens our position as the leading technology partner connecting care across acute, post-acute and community organizations,” said Bill Miller, CEO of WellSky. “By leveraging Healthify’s networks of community-based organizations and its interoperable closed-loop referral platform, payers and providers can effectively coordinate care to close gaps, improve outcomes and promote health equity.” As a result of the deal, Healthify’s SDoH referral platform and community networks will be integrated with WellSky’s human and social services network to power improved outcomes, while lowering the overall cost of care.
