Innovating healthcare through agile transformation

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare organizations must adapt swiftly and effectively to ensure sustainability and growth. As healthcare providers navigate these complexities, the need for innovative strategies has never been more critical. Virtusa proudly partnered with a prominent healthcare provider to address the pressing challenges of the initial Medicaid redetermination process. Through this collaboration, we achieved remarkable outcomes, including a substantial 40% cost reduction. Our end-to-end Agile transformation not only streamlined operations but also equipped the client with the tools necessary to thrive in a dynamic environment. This success story highlights how strategic partnerships can drive significant improvements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness, ultimately enhancing patient care and organizational resilience.

Key challenges encountered

Our client faced several significant hurdles:

  • Declining subscriptions
