CHICAGO & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navigant (NYSE: NCI) and Baptist Health South Florida today announced the signing of an operating agreement to create a new joint venture entity to provide revenue cycle management (RCM) services to healthcare provider organizations. The joint venture will initially manage the revenue cycle operations of Baptist Health South Florida, but plans to expand in the future.

“We are committed to improving the patient experience and developing more consumer-friendly systems,” said Brian E. Keeley, president and CEO of Baptist Health South Florida. “We selected Navigant, and its subsidiary Navigant Cymetrix, to partner with us because they bring deep industry knowledge, scale, and expertise in process and technology, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, which will enable us to achieve efficiencies and create a more seamless experience for our patients. Baptist Health has remained fiscally sound, mission-driven, and an innovative leader as we continue to transform the way we deliver care. We believe this new organization will also provide opportunities for team members to grow in their careers and will bring new jobs to our local community.”

Julie Howard, chairman and CEO of Navigant, commented, “As healthcare providers transition to a value-based payment system, there is a critical need for innovative solutions. Our move to create a new commercial entity with Baptist Health South Florida is a perfect example of our deep commitment to partnering with our clients, and to identifying unique pathways to add value. By relying on the services provided by this new venture, health systems will have the ability to direct their focus where it is needed most, on their patients and the health of their communities.”
