Transforming Health Care.
Our goal is to create more connected, compatible and convenient experiences for patients, providers and plan sponsors—and we believe transforming health care’s biggest challenges is the right place to start.
What does that transformation look like? For patients, it may be greater access and lower costs. For providers, it may be more transparency and greater collaboration across specialties. For plan sponsors, it may be reducing the administrative burden so many experience.
Transformation isn’t easy, but at the Evernorth Research Institute, we believe it is possible when it is purposeful and rooted in research.
