RICHARDSON, Texas--()--Orb Health today announced that Community Health of South Florida, Inc. (CHI) has chosen Orb Health’s patient-centric Collaborative Virtual Care solution and services to deliver Chronic Care Management and more to their diverse, chronically ill patient population. By adding these services, CHI will seamlessly extend its care capacity, strengthen patient relationships between visits, and efficiently coordinate their broad spectrum of care. The move is aimed at improving patient outcomes, reducing emergency department utilization, hospitalizations, while reducing the cost of value-based care.

“CHI is known for its innovative health care. We’re excited that a provider of this caliber has selected Orb Health for Chronic Care Management,” said Bryan Krastins, CEO at Orb Health. “We look forward to helping CHI achieve the transformative results other Orb Health customers have realized.”

Orb Health’s Collaborative Virtual Care™ enables the high-performance delivery of reimbursed Medicare services such as Chronic Care Management and more as a virtual extension of the practice using integrated best practices.
