Enthralling Journey of Conversa
Established in 2013, Conversa Health (known as Conversa),
and its pioneering technology delivers an advanced
automated patient engagement platform to help clinicians
manage their relationships with patients. The company’s
cloud-based Conversa Conversation Platform augments
care management and clinical understanding through deep
integration with over 400 biometric devices as well as
patients’ electronic health records (EHRs) and other clinical
systems.
As a result, Conversa’s patient-profile driven technology
can help care teams identify and focus on patients who will
benefit from extra coaching and assistance. Clients can use
the company’s flexible conversation platform for a variety
of clinical applications, ranging from post-discharge and
medication adherence to marketing. Healthcare providers
can also use the solution for wellness, prevention, and
lifestyle coaching to provide educational content and
insights to foster understanding of disease processes and
reduce patient anxiety.

Allscripts using its technology to enhance Allscripts’
population health, care management, and patient
engagement capabilities—providing Conversa access to
Allscripts’ client base of over 2,500 hospitals and
healthcare systems.

outcomes, ease-of-use, and visionary innovation have
