NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Long Island Health Network (LIHN), on behalf of its member hospitals and other health care providers, is one of the first health care systems to collaborate with Create, a new marketplace of health systems from Brighton Health Plan Solutions. Create offers a brand new health care option that increases health care quality and immediately reduces health care costs for plan sponsors, members, and their families. Through Create’s innovative enrollment platform, families are able to choose to receive care from a specific network of doctors and hospitals. This groundbreaking model enables families to develop strong, two-way relationships with health care providers within that group, resulting in better care. Create fully aligns the interests of plan sponsors, patients, families, physicians, and hospitals, delivering significant savings to plan sponsors and families. Create is available to plan sponsors now.
“The collaboration between Create and Long Island Health Network will allow members and their families to develop meaningful two-way relationships with their health care providers, resulting in the delivery of a much higher quality of care,” said Simeon Schindelman, CEO of Brighton Health Plan Solutions. “We are fortunate to be able to collaborate with LIHN. Together we will drive better health care outcomes for patients and lower costs for plan sponsors and families.”
Create members who select Long Island doctors and member hospitals will have access to LIHN’s leading hospitals including Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, Mercy Medical Center, Saint Catherine of Siena Medical Center, Saint Charles Hospital & Rehabilitation Center, Saint Francis Hospital - The Heart Center, Saint Joseph Hospital, and South Nassau Communities Hospital. Families who choose to receive care from LIHN will also be able to work with affiliated physicians who contract separately.
