BEND, Ore. – Praxis Health, the Pacific Northwest’s leading independent healthcare network, has been recognized as a recipient of the 2025 KLAS Points of Light Award, alongside Regence and Cedar Gate Technologies. The award acknowledges Praxis Health’s role in advancing payer-provider collaboration and driving measurable improvements in value-based care.
The KLAS Points of Light Award celebrates success stories from across the U.S. where payers and providers work together—with the support of innovative technology partners—to achieve value-based care goals, improve patient outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from KLAS, alongside Cedar Gate and Regence,” said Dan McCarthy, CEO of Praxis Health. “This award reflects our deep commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care while working hand-in-hand with our payer partners to drive meaningful change in healthcare.”
In partnership with Regence and Cedar Gate Technologies, Praxis Health leveraged advanced analytics and real-time data tools to enhance care quality, reduce lag times in performance reporting, and identify targeted opportunities to lower the total cost of care.
Together, we were able to:
- Improve data quality, access, and timeliness across both organizations
- Securely partition data to protect privacy while enabling shared decision-making
- Cut data lag time by 50%, from 90 days to just 45
- Identify key opportunities to improve outcomes and reduce costs
- Reduce administrative burden through more efficient workflows
“Actionable data isn’t just a tool for Praxis Health—it’s a strategic accelerant in our transformation to value-based care,” said McCarthy. “Through enhanced data sharing, actionable insights, and aligned goals, we are proud to demonstrate what’s possible when collaboration leads the way. Our ability to adapt quickly, implement innovative care models, and work collaboratively with payer partners is what makes our network truly unique. We believe this recognition from KLAS validates our mission to improve the health and well-being of our communities through compassionate, coordinated, and data-driven care.”
