By integrating Clinia’s AI-powered technology, TELUS Health aims to improve the management of provider registry networks. 

It will facilitate interconnectivity and help in driving cost sustainability for payers and providers to further eliminate the inefficiencies of conventional provider registry networks, which are costly and often lack comprehensive connectivity. 

Leveraging combined infrastructure, the companies will also help to streamline administrative processes and reduce manual data entry through advanced turnkey solutions.

“Our technology will support them to create connected provider ecosystems that enable payors worldwide to enhance their services, all while empowering more impactful healthcare journeys for individuals and communities.”
