Lightbeam Health earns Microsoft AI Cloud certification

Lightbeam Health Solutions said on Tuesday it has received Microsoft’s AI Cloud Partner Program Healthcare AI Certified software designation for its population health management platform.

The Dallas-based company, which provides AI-enabled tools and services for care coordination, is one of 10 organizations worldwide to receive the designation. Microsoft’s certification verifies that software meets standards for security, interoperability and performance, and is designed to give healthcare providers confidence in adopting cloud-based AI systems.

Lightbeam said the recognition reinforces its collaboration with Microsoft and supports its strategy of using artificial intelligence to help hospitals, health systems and insurers improve quality of care while lowering costs. The company has offered AI-driven healthcare technologies since 2009 and provides services for accountable care organizations, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial populations.

Chief Technology Officer Michael Hoxter said the certification demonstrates Lightbeam’s focus on delivering secure, validated technology for value-based care. Microsoft’s worldwide healthcare and life sciences lead, Elena Bonfiglioli, said the designation highlights Lightbeam’s early adoption of AI and ability to deliver results in a tight labor market.

The company recently reported that Saint Peter’s University Hospital used its AI platform to cut emergency department visits by 7%.
