New York, NY — April 16, 2026 — Healthix, one of the nation’s largest public health information exchanges (HIEs), and SpectraMedix, a leading vendor of value-based care (VBC) performance and provider enablement solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to help New York health plans and providers close quality and coding gaps in real time driving faster performance improvement and measurable financial outcomes.
New York health plans operate in one of the most complex and performance-driven value-based care environments in the country. As the New York State Department of Health continues to advance its value-based care roadmap, there is increasing emphasis on improving quality outcomes, strengthening risk adjustment accuracy, and ensuring accountability for total cost of care. Despite significant investment in tools that provide analytics, many organizations still struggle with resolving gaps in care in a timely and efficient manner and lose out on quality incentives or bonuses in their value-based arrangements.
The Healthix–SpectraMedix partnership addresses this challenge by transforming data liquidity into real-time execution. By combining Healthix’s longitudinal clinical data network with SpectraMedix’s provider workflow, performance, and financial analytics platform, the joint solution enables identification and closure of care gaps directly at the point of care, embedded within existing provider workflows. Delivered seamlessly across EMRs, SpectraMedix’s provider enablement solutions, and Healthix’s comprehensive clinical infrastructure, the solution ensures that insights are not only visible, but actionable to ensure consistent provider engagement, accelerating gap closure, and significantly improving speed to value across New York’s healthcare ecosystem.
By improving both the speed and reliability of gap closure, the partnership is designed to deliver measurable financial outcomes for New York health plans above and beyond what Healthix already provides. Gaps in care are not only identified but are able to be acted upon by providers in record time. Additional benefits include:
-
- Improved quality performance (HEDIS/Stars)
- Increased risk capture accuracy (RAF)
- Measurable improvement in medical loss ratio (MLR)
- Faster speed-to-value across contacts
The ROI potential is significant. In large regional health plans, even modest improvements in these areas can translate into tens of millions of dollars in annual impact, while simultaneously improving patient outcomes and provider performance.
Leadership Perspectives
Todd Rognow, Healthix CEO
“Unlocking true data liquidity requires more than connectivity. It depends on interoperability that works seamlessly within real-world workflows and delivers data that is both reliable and meaningful. At Healthix, we’re focused on equipping health plans with timely, actionable insights that support value-based care goals, strengthen coordination across the care community, and ultimately improve outcomes for the populations they serve throughout New York.”
Dr. Raj Lakhanpal, SpectraMedix CEO
“Having practiced as a physician in the Bronx, Upper Eastside, and Westchester County in New York and worked closely with providers during several of New York’s Medicaid waiver programs, I’ve seen how difficult it is to translate data into action at the point of care. This partnership with Healthix is about delivering real-time intelligence that makes it easier for providers to act, while ensuring those actions translate into measurable improvements in quality, risk performance, and ultimately MLR. We believe this will be a game-changing solution for health plans for a city that means so much to me.”
