Solera Health Remains Committed to Preserving Access to Chronic Disease Prevention Resources
Brenda Schmidt, CEO, Solera Health
Like many Americans and patient advocacy organizations, yesterday afternoon I was disappointed to see House Republicans narrowly vote on the passage of the American Health Care Act, the first step in an effort to repeal portions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). While attention was necessary to fix the ACA in its current form, Solera Health believes the existing legislation successfully broadened the number of people with access to healthcare and provided essential health benefits to millions of individuals, including prevention services as well as services for those with pre-existing conditions.
As the GOPs’ efforts must still gain a considerable support in the Senate before becoming a law, Solera remains hopeful that all individuals who need quality, evidence-based, affordable care will, in the end, retain their ability to access healthcare and that providers will be properly compensated for delivering life-saving care. Until then, we encourage members of Congress to carefully consider the House bill, with special attention to preserving prevention services and providing affordable care for individuals with preexisting conditions and those receiving Medicaid benefits, and work in earnest towards a solution that benefits all Americans.

Heart Health and Diabetes
February 15, 2017 / in Blog Posts / by admin
February is American Heart Month – a time to take stock of our cardiovascular health and remind ourselves of the importance of staying “heart healthy.” Oh, and to wear red, too!
At Solera Health, we are acutely aware of the relevance of American Heart Month, because of the strong correlation between cardiovascular disease and diabetes. There is even a term — “diabetic heart disease” (DHD) – that refers to heart disease that develops in people with diabetes. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, compared with people who don’t have diabetes, people who have diabetes:
Have a two- to threefold higher risk for heart disease
Have additional causes of heart disease
May develop heart disease at a younger age
May have more severe heart disease
Studies have also shown that women in particular are affected – women with diabetes have an even greater risk of heart disease compared to those without diabetes. Overall, for both men and women with diabetes, cardiovascular disease leading to heart attack or stroke is by far the leading cause of death.

Solera Health Achieves HITRUST CSF Certification
In the world of healthcare, information security is vital. Companies dealing with a patient’s personal health information must meet key healthcare regulations and requirements for protecting and securing all materials and data to avoid an information security breach. Achieving security certification by trusted third-party organizations can assure partners and patients that their information is maintained with the highest level of security.
Solera Health is honored to announce to that we’ve earned a certified status from the Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) high-level security framework. The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) certification provides assurance to Solera’s health plan, employer and health system clients that Solera meets the healthcare industry's highest standards in protecting healthcare information and managing risk. This is a significant milestone and certification for us, as no other Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) digital therapeutics platform is HITRUST certified.
The HITRUST CSF was developed to address the multitude of security, privacy and regulatory challenges facing healthcare organizations. By including federal and state regulations, standards and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, certified organizations meet a diverse set of requirements through comprehensive and scalable security controls.
As a market category creator and integrator of non-clinical services, Solera performs all due diligence to downstream DPP providers. DPPs in our network are able to offer clients a much greater sense of data privacy/security when utilizing nonclinical community and digital providers. Now, we can continue to validate our commitment to the highest standards for privacy, security and compliance.
