Eliza Corporation

Since 1998, Eliza Corporation has developed healthcare consumer engagement solutions to address some of the industry’s greatest challenges – from adherence, to prevention, to condition management, to brand loyalty and retention.

“Pay-for-performance” in healthcare incentivizes payers and providers to keep a population under their care healthier. The Pay-for-performance arrangements provide financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare providers to carry out such improvements and help achieve optimal outcomes for patients. This is a departure from fee-for-service, where payments are for each service used. Eliza Corporation, focuses on Health Engagement Management, and acts on behalf of healthcare organizations (e.g. hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, insurance companies, etc.) in order to engage people at the right time, with the right message, and in the right channel to capture relevant metrics to analyze the overall value provided by Healthcare.
