“Your rapid deployments and robust capabilities—I’ve never seen anything like it.”

— Director of Operations,

When care teams are working in silos, referrals fall through the cracks, and compliance risks grow, progress stalls fast.

That’s the position one big health plan found itself in—until they partnered on a rapid deployment that changed how their teams work, communicate, and engage members. Within weeks, they had a fully operational care navigation system driving measurable impact across CM, UM, and quality.

In this behind-the-scenes look, we break down how this plan moved from reactive processes to proactive care coordination—and what made it possible.

The Challenge

  • Care teams and departments working in disconnected systems
  • Referral tracking buried in email threads
  • Delayed follow-up after hospital discharges
  • Limited visibility into member activity and risk
  • Compliance concerns around PHI sharing
  • Pressure to close care gaps and meet regulatory timelines

The ask: deliver something that works—fast, secure, and tailored to their environment.

The Solution: Rapidly Deployed, Purpose-Built

Rather than layering another generic platform on top of existing problems, the team collaborated on a fully tailored solution that addressed their most urgent gaps from the ground up. What followed was a deployment timeline the plan’s leadership said they had “never seen before”—with core functionality rolled out and live in a matter of weeks.

The Outcome

“The abilities we now have at the plan to support a rapid turnaround in CM, UM, Quality and timely engagement for ALL members… The improved secure information sharing and accountability for all members is key to our success.”

What started as a crisis-response build became a long-term solution.
