Every time a person visits a doctor or hospital, a surge of data is created. That data is the lifeblood that has the power to deliver insights and the promise to transform our healthcare experience.
But today, these data are stuck in old systems and are hard to share, making it difficult to give patients the best possible care and experience they deserve. This creates a frustrating reality for patients who are looking for answers to basic questions: Do I need to see a doctor? If so, which doctor should I see? How much will this cost me?
Abacus’ mission is to improve people’s lives by breaking down these silos and liberating healthcare data to make real impact. Abacus believes this is achievable today because of two recent fundamental and unprecedented shifts: the digitization of healthcare data and the advent of cloud computing have given us the ability to securely bring vast amounts of data together to produce powerful insights.
We are a fast-growing, values-driven team that cares deeply about improving the healthcare experience. If you like using innovative technologies to solve complex problems and build products from the ground up. Check out our job openings at www.abacusinsights.com/careers/

Care Connectors is a leading value-based care enablement platform focused on supporting health plans and risk bearing providers in their effort to manage prospective risk adjustment, quality improvement and care coordination. The company provides national, on-demand delivery of these solutions for members and patients in their homes (in-person and virtually) or community (primary care and mobile clinics).
As health plans and risk bearing providers continue to face change in their regulatory, reimbursement, and care delivery environments, Care Connectors’ unique ability to engage the hardest-to-reach and non-compliant patients, while serving as an extension of their primary care physician and health plan is becoming increasingly important in order to deliver the best outcomes.

The problem:
- 1-in-5 children today struggle with mental health
- 50% of them do not receive care. Those that do, face:
- Average wait times of 3.5 months (in states with higher availability)
- High out of pocket costs
- Inconsistent quality (only 20% of behavioral health care is evidence-based)
Our solution:
A partnership model that brings pediatricians, parents, providers and payers together.
The benefits:
1. For pediatricians: refer directly in less than 90 seconds for therapy and psychiatry appointments typically within 7 days.
2. For parents and caregivers: learn how to support your child’s healing with coaching
3. For providers and therapists: training in evidence-based care developed by the Child Mind Institute and removal of all admin tasks.
4. For payors: targeted-care based on clinically validated scales.
Our mission, and the outcome of these partnerships:
Open more paths to better care for more families.
Our unshakable belief:
We are stronger together.
