Arcadia Solutions Launches Azara Healthcare

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With support from Marquette Technology Companies, Arcadia Solutions has officially launched Azara Healthcare LLC, a leading provider of data-driven reporting and analytics for the community health marketplace. With increasing emphasis on primary care, pay-for-performance and accountable care, Azara Healthcare will give community health centers the tools and processes necessary for organizations to not only survive, but thrive in the rapidly changing healthcare climate.

“We are very excited about the formation of Azara Healthcare”

Azara Healthcare’s flagship product, Azara DRVS (Data Reporting and Visualization System), is a web-based, quality measurement and improvement platform designed specifically for community health centers. Using data captured directly from electronic health records (EHRs) and practice management systems, Azara DRVS measures and monitors performance on key clinical, operational and financial metrics at all levels. Azara DRVS is an easy-to-use, EHR-agnostic platform that provides the information and reports necessary to meet Meaningful Use, UDS and Patient-Centered Health Home requirements, as well as a number of other emerging federal and state quality improvement programs. Azara DRVS is currently managing data from hundreds of thousands of patients and helping community health providers achieve better patient outcomes and lower delivery costs.

Resulting from a collaboration between Arcadia Solutions and the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers (MLCHC), Azara Healthcare was formed to provide a single-purpose entity to expand, deploy and operate the Azara DRVS platform for the community health marketplace. Leveraging the knowledge, experience and people of Arcadia and MLCHC, Azara Healthcare is the entity that will bring these resources to the market.

“After completing Azara DRVS and deploying this powerful platform to our centers in Massachusetts, we realized that the functionality and value was something that should be extended to our peers around the nation,” said James Hunt, President and CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers. “We worked closely with Azara Healthcare to create a business relationship that assures that the DRVS platform will continue to adapt and grow as the healthcare landscape changes. We are confident that Azara Healthcare can support us and our colleagues for many years to come.”

“It has been a pleasure working with the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers,” said Jeff Brandes, President of Azara Healthcare. “We have licensed the intellectual property that powers Azara DRVS and are delivering it to the marketplace as part of a unique Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. We believe the SaaS model is well suited for Community Health, as it takes the burden of both application development and IT operations away from individual community health centers and allows them to remain focused on the delivery of patient care.”

“We are very excited about the formation of Azara Healthcare,” said Seth Henry, President of Arcadia Solutions. We have spent the past few years helping clients across the healthcare industry take control of their data assets and use them to strategically manage performance and outcomes. We are pleased to take that experience and intellectual property and provide it to the community health market as a turnkey service.”
