LIFENEXUS CGO TO SHARE HOW MOBILE SOLUTION ICHIP IS SOLVING SOME OF HEALTHCARE’S BIGGEST
CHALLENGES AT THE POINT OF CARE
SAN FRANCISCO, CA. MAY 6, 2015 – LifeNexus, creator of iChip®, announced today that chief growth
officer Jamie Hall will participate in a panel of pioneering organizations striving to solve some of
healthcare’s biggest challenges.
The keynote panel, Innovation Center, is part of the Washington-Alaska chapter of HFMA’s (Healthcare
Financial Management Association) Spring Conference May 6-8 in Spokane, Washington. Bringing
together three innovative startups and an investor, the panel will highlight how today’s entrepreneurs
are pushing the envelope to bring healthcare into the 21st century with consumer-focused solutions
that support an economically sustainable healthcare system. Hall will share how LifeNexus is changing
how healthcare happens at the most impactful moment for consumers – the point of care.
“At the point of care, we, as patients, should be most accessible, focused and open to receiving
healthcare,” said Hall. “Yet this is the exact moment we find most stressful, inconvenient and
frustrating – factors that tend to decrease our level of engagement. Our mission at LifeNexus is to
change that moment by creating an easier, more convenient healthcare experience that fosters a
deeper and more impactful conversation with our doctors, which can lead to better health.”
For LifeNexus, creating a better point of care experience means addressing the industry-wide
information gap between plans, providers and patients recently raised in the New York Times article
The Healing Power of Your Own Medical Records. To this end, LifeNexus developed iChip, a consumercontrolled mobile solution that gives consumers access to and control over their own health
information, and provides them with the tools to view, edit and share that information with their
caregivers, family members and doctors.
Leveraging health plan data, analytics and programs, iChip uses mobile and cloud-based technology to
automatically update and populate an iChip Health Record that consumers can access and enhance
from a web-based portal, and share with their doctors via an iChip-enabled benefits card or
smartphone companion app. By delivering patient-specific health plan data at the point of care, iChip
creates millions of opportunities for health plans and doctors to work together to simplify and
personalize the consumer experience and improve consumer engagement. This level of collaboration
and information sharing leads to better diagnoses and treatments, improved quality metrics like Star
Ratings and HEDIS measures, closed gaps in care, improved risk score coding and increased member
engagement and satisfaction rates.
“We are excited to be participating in the WA-AK HFMA Spring Conference. As the healthcare
landscape continues to evolve towards consumer-centrism and shared risk arrangements between
payers and providers, iChip ensures that consumers show up prepared, and that physicians and their
staff always have exactly what they need, when they need it for optimal patient satisfaction, optimal
reimbursement and ultimately the best possible health outcomes,” said Hall.
