Innovation within the healthcare industry is accelerating, but any health startup founder knows the path to success is long and riddled with obstacles. Wrangling decision makers, long procurement cycles, and upending deeply ingrained workflows are just the beginning of the challenges facing startups selling into the healthcare ecosystem.

“Technology risks and compliance requirements are among the biggest impediments to the success of healthcare startups today,” says Gregg Alwine, CEO of Corsis. And he should know.

His company, Corsis, has become a preeminent leader in technology and compliance best practice implementation with more than 25 years of experienced insights built into their patent-pending technology platform.

Gregg and his team have partnered with StartUp Health to leverage their application and expertise on behalf of Moonshot Academy companies and other Health Transformers. “It begins by helping them better understand their liabilities and risks, then provide much needed guidance on what can be done to eliminate them,” says Alwine. “Our application puts companies on the right path by surfacing issues they may have missed.”

Corsis’s SaaS platform offers assessment tools to help companies identify technology and compliance gaps, as well as remediation recommendations based on established best practices and real-time data. To help get even deeper insights, Corsis can also provide subject matter experts on a project basis.

Similar to a credit score, companies receive a numeric rating along with a detailed list of remediation recommendations that acts as a roadmap for preparing them for deal success down the line. Assessments leverage Corsis’s proprietary TechIndicator library, including more than 1,000 regulatory requirements, compliance standards and best practices related to HIPAA, HITECH, PCI, ISO, NIST, SOC and a litany of other frameworks.

Says Alwine, “we can definitely help prevent rejection over concerns about a start-up’s technology and compliance.” This is certainly great news for startups, and it offers equally as much value for health systems and investors who benefit from decreased investment risk and increased likelihood for long-term success — a win-win scenario Corsis and StartUp Health are confident will accelerate the pace of innovations within healthcare.

Corsis aims to help Health Transformers see immediate benefits in speeding sales growth and increasing company value, and more importantly help accelerate the impact of new innovations that improve patient outcomes and lower the cost of care.

The Corsis team will be guests at the StartUp Health Festival on January 8th and 9th. For additional information on the partnership and ways to engage, visit corsis.com
