Curation Health — creators of a value-based care platform facilitating provider-plan collaboration, has announced a strategic partnership with University of Maryland Medical System and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst). This collaboration supports UMMS, CareFirst and Curation Health’s shared commitment to improving population health and wellness and reducing the total cost of care through success in value-based care programs and innovation.
The Curation Health platform supports the provider workflow by integrating clinically relevant data from multiple sources into point-of-care workflow tools for closure of clinical and quality gaps over time. When providers have access to data insights that are synthesized and relevant, they get to spend more time delivering care and building meaningful patient relationships. The Curation Health platform will support the network through a piloted project with primary care providers at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Group, a network of physicians affiliated with the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center. This is the first project to come out of UMMS and CareFirst’s five-year partnership to drive innovation and improve the health experience and outcomes for all populations.
When providers have access to data insights, they spend more time delivering quality patient care.
“UMMS and CareFirst have such a strong partnership and reputation for innovation. As a provider of a technology platform to support their value-based care journey, we’re really excited to partner with them to launch, scale and sustain value-based care performance for both organizations,” said Kevin Coloton, Founder & CEO at Curation Health.

“A large portion of our physicians’ workday is spent managing administrative tasks,” said Stephanie Selby, Vice President of Clinical Operations at UMMS. “We expect that implementing technology-focused solutions such as the Curation Health platform will help lessen the amount of time that physicians need to spend on these administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on what’s most important—their patient’s care.”
CareFirst’s expertise in provider and population performance measurement supports UMMS’ key strategic objectives to better orient its hospitals and community practices for population health activities and clinical integration. This will result in better performance on clinical, quality, affordability and patient experience measures for all of the people served by both organizations.
