Praia Health Identity & Engagement Platform

"Health systems are at an inflection point. The trusted connection between the health system and health consumers is at its most vulnerable in an increasingly competitive, distributed, and decentralized environment," said Sara Vaezy, chief strategy and digital officer at Providence. "Technology is at the center of both the problem and the solution. Health systems must take a page from the book of other consumer-facing industries to enable a digital flywheel that fuels operational transformation and business model expansion. Digital transformation is now a health system imperative. That's why we built Praia Health."

"Given the unprecedented workforce and economic pressures affecting health systems today, we need to do things differently—and that means embracing new digital solutions that help us improve the health of our communities," said Rod Hochman, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Providence. "Praia Health embodies the Providence promise to know, care for and ease the way of each person we serve and extends this commitment to the patients' digital experience."
