Our take
Unite Us is a technology company building a coordinated care network of health and social service providers in the US. Providers across sectors can send and receive electronic referrals, track every person's total health journey, and report on tangible outcomes across a range of services. This social care infrastructure helps communities transform their ability to work together and measure impact at scale.
Unite Us' software improves coordination, tracks outcomes, and helps standardize data sharing between payers, providers, government services, and social services. It works with healthcare organizations across the country including Kaiser Permanente, CyncHealth and the state of North Carolina, for example.
Recent acquisitions made by Unite Us, such as Staple Health, Carrot Health and NowPow are allowing the company to continue to reduce inequities at structural, community, and institutional levels, and improve access to healthcare for US communities through the use of its operational software.
