Venture Capital News: Evariant Announces Additional Funding
2016-05-10
FARMINGTON, CT, Evariant announced today it has secured additional funding from McKesson Ventures and Salesforce Ventures as part of their Series C financing round.
They join existing investors Health Enterprise Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Goldman, Sachs & Co.
'This additional investment positions Evariant to continue to help health systems and hospitals grow revenue through strategic patient acquisition and physician alignment,' stated Evariant Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, William Moschella. 'By tapping big data and analytics, healthcare leaders can turn clinical data into meaningful insights that drive proactive health, and increased profitability.'
The Evariant healthcare CRM and analytics solution provides a 360-degree view of patients and physicians through big data and analytics to transform how health systems and hospitals engage with patients, consumers, and providers. According to recent industry research, hospitals that offer a superior patient experience tend to have 50% higher margins than their peers, and those that are fastest to adopt patient experience and digital health best-practices will be best positioned to improve their reputations, reap the financial rewards, and outperform their peers.
'Evariant arms health systems with the tools needed to take complex internal and external data streams and generate marketing, financial, clinical, and operational insights so that they can deliver a more patient-centric approach to care,' said Tom Rodgers, SVP and managing director, McKesson Ventures. 'By optimizing the data available, health systems gain the ability to identify, attract and engage the right patients and the right physicians which is becoming key as health systems shift their weight from traditional fee-for-service and establish their footing in a value-based world.'
'We are pleased that both McKesson Ventures and Salesforce Ventures have invested in Evariant, validating our mission to deliver the world's most innovative healthcare CRM and analytics solution,' concluded Moschella.
Evariant clients include six of the top ten health systems in the United States, and more than 600 hospitals.
