Castlight Health, a company that uses data analytics to help employers and others make the best decisions about healthcare purchasing, has announced a partnership with Grand Rounds, a service that offers patients access to top physicians for a clinical second opinion.
Through the partnership, Grand Rounds’ Outcomes Management platform, including the second-opinion service, will be available to Castlight’s enterprise customers. These customers and their employees and beneficiaries will now be able to use Castlight to find a provider, and then use Grand Rounds to solicit a second opinion in the event of a major diagnosis.
"Top quality medical care shouldn't be reserved only for the wealthy; it should be available to everyone, no matter where they are in their healthcare cycle," said Owen Tripp, CEO of Grand Rounds. "By ensuring that anyone, anywhere, has the ability to see a medical specialist regardless of geography, Grand Rounds is able to save time, money and lives. Castlight can help us accelerate our already-rapid growth and support our mission to deliver positive healthcare outcomes to patients worldwide."
