N/A

Syntax offers something entirely new: actuarially credible program design and contract modeling capabilities coupled with transparent, collaborative contract negotiations via our 2-sided workspace. Most solutions in this space are focused on care coordination or population health.

How we're different:  

• Our SaaS enterprise solution facilitates open, candid, real-time discussions that break down barriers posed by physical distance, lack of trust, or apprehension over the risks associated with implementing a new value-based care model. 
• Syntax deploys a team-based approach in which everyone can view savings, spend and the direct impact on outcomes/efficiency that different models have. 
• We enable teams to model contract terms and incentive scenarios using our fast-track templates or they can configure their own using our dynamic model builder. 
• Syntax also provides the ability to refresh performance measurement on demand, allowing team members to preview emerging trends for course correction and value alignment.
• We delight customers by automating tasks often done in cumbersome, time-consuming ways.
• Syntax saves time, removes redundant tasks and improves efficiency.
