Cedar's mission is to leverage data science, smart product design and personalization to make healthcare more affordable and accessible. Today, healthcare providers still engage with its consumers in a “one-size-fits-all” approach; and Cedar is excited to leverage consumer best practices to deliver a superior experience. The Integrations team is building a platform to ingest and normalize healthcare billing data to power multiple Cedar products. It’s a high-impact, high-complexity space involving real-time data flows, and an ever-changing web of EMRs, hospital workflows, and third-party systems. The biggest blocker to innovation in healthcare is often access to data. Every hospital system, EMR, and billing vendor does things slightly differently. That complexity makes innovation hard to scale.
