WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Counterpart Health, Inc. (“Counterpart”), an AI-powered physician enablement platform, today announced a strategic, multi-year agreement with Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH), a regional leader in healthcare delivery and the largest health system in Southern Illinois. Counterpart is a subsidiary of Clover Health Investments, Corp. (Nasdaq: CLOV) (“Clover Health”).
This partnership will enable SIH’s care teams to excel in value-based care arrangements by equipping them with Counterpart Assistant, a cloud-based AI platform seamlessly integrated into their existing EPIC electronic health record (EHR) system. Counterpart Assistant delivers real-time, patient-specific insights directly within physicians’ workflows, ensuring clinical decisions are guided by actionable, data-driven insights that prioritize patient outcomes. By focusing on improving care delivery, physicians can naturally achieve the key metrics required for success in value-based agreements without added complexity or administrative burden.
“Southern Illinois Healthcare has always been committed to providing exceptional care, particularly in the rural communities we serve,” said SIH President and CEO John Antes. “Counterpart Assistant’s ability to deliver insights at the point of care helps us achieve better outcomes for our patients while enabling success in value-based arrangements. This partnership reinforces our mission to deliver top-quality care in the most efficient, patient-centered way possible.”
Value-based care agreements require meeting specific health plan metrics, which are often tedious to manage alongside direct patient care. Counterpart Assistant simplifies this process by presenting relevant clinical insights in the context of care delivery, ensuring that improved patient outcomes naturally align with performance targets. With earlier diagnoses, better chronic disease management, and streamlined workflows, SIH’s clinicians can focus on caring for their patients, while seamlessly excelling in value-based care programs.
“Southern Illinois Healthcare’s reputation for clinical excellence makes them an ideal partner as we work to enhance value-based care delivery,” said Aric Sharp, CEO of Value-Based Care for Clover Health. “Counterpart Assistant enables providers to focus on improving patient outcomes, and the resulting performance in value-based metrics becomes a natural byproduct of this patient-first approach.”
By leveraging Counterpart Health’s proprietary AI and machine learning capabilities, SIH is advancing its ability to deliver superior patient outcomes while navigating the increasing complexity of value-based care agreements with confidence and ease.
