“ACN is focused on innovation in the healthcare industry and seeks to be the leading technology-enabled ACO in the US. This is why we chose to partner with Solve.Care, a true innovator in the healthcare care administration and payments sector,” said Dr. David Hanekom, CEO of Arizona Care Network. “Solve.Care brings a lot to the table in terms of their ability to simplify and decentralize complex processes related to value-based care delivery and payments.
