Gainesville, Fla.-based UF Health has partnered with R1 to deploy an AI-native revenue cycle operating model built on R1’s Phare OS platform.
The collaboration centers on R37, R1’s innovation lab and the team behind Phare OS. The platform consolidates revenue cycle workflows — including data management, payer intelligence and AI-driven automation — into a single system, according to a Sept. 9 news release. R37 engineers will work directly with UF Health staff, pairing Phare’s automated workflows with human oversight.
“UF Health regularly evaluates opportunities to improve operational performance through technology, process improvement and strategic collaborations,” UF Health CFO Geoff Gardner said in the release. “We chose to collaborate with R1 because of its ability to pair 20 years of deep revenue cycle expertise with advanced AI capabilities for revenue management.”
R1 CEO Joe Flanagan said the collaboration reflects a “technology-first, outcomes-based” model of academic medical center partnership designed to reduce administrative burden on clinicians.
The RCM company works with more than 1,000 healthcare providers, including 95 of the top 100 U.S. health systems, and processes over 600 million payer transactions annually, according to the release.
