Employers using the Carrum Health Center of Excellence platform can now get more quality care through high-value providers that belong to the Vizient member healthcare system, which includes more than half of the nation’s hospitals and 97% of academic medical centers. This agreement enables Carrum Health to significantly accelerate the expansion of its regionalized center of excellence (COE) market and more effectively apply its quality analysis to assess potential COEs for joining the Carrum Health platform.

Carrum Health will use Vizient’s industry-leading analysis to provide self-insured employers with value-based insights on high-quality, affordable care.
“Vizient is as committed to providing appropriate, high-quality care as Carrum Health. Carrum’s COE solution manages the costs of employers and employees, and as more and more employers purchase market methods to incentivize the participation of healthcare providers,” Said Jeff Hayes, executive director of Vizient’s Direct to Employer Solutions. “We chose Carrum Health because of the way they work with suppliers and because they have a good track record in this fast-growing market.”
