Healthcare IT Today: What’s Shaping Value-Based Care in 2026

Author : Strive Health

In several recent articles published in Healthcare IT Today, our leaders continue to zero in on three priorities that support our Mission of redefining care and elevating life for the people we serve:

1. Focusing care around one complex disease — like kidney disease — that influences other chronic conditions creates clearer pathways to better outcomes than trying to manage everything separately. Read the full article.

      2. The promise of generative and agentic AI depends on a robust data strategy first. Real-time ADT and lab data (e.g., creatinine, eGFR, kidney function markers) enable earlier outreach, more precise interventions and smarter, proactive care. Read the full article.

      3. Slowing CKD progression in patients with metabolic and cardiovascular disease requires nephrology, cardiology and primary care teams to align around shared value-based goals. Read the full article.

      Health and Well Being

      We care about your physical well-being, so your insurance starts the day you join strive.

      Medical, Dental & Vision
      We offer a variety of medical (HMO, PPO and HDHP) plans through United Healthcare and Kaiser, two dental plans and one comprehensive vision plan.

      Life & Supplemental Insurance
      Strivers are provided 100% employer-paid life insurance, short-term disability and long-term disability coverage as of your start date. Additional supplemental insurance, including accident, life and critical illness, are available.

      Flexibility and Time Off

      Transformational work takes high performance. We believe Strivers perform better when they are fully charged, so we provide flexibility to support your inner well-being.

      Hybrid-Remote Work
      Our hybrid-remote approach ensures team members can work from home while collaborating in person when needed. Strive provides a full technology package and monthly technology reimbursement.

      Vacation Time
      Full-time, regularly scheduled Strivers can use vacation time for travel, relaxation or volunteering.

      Sick Time
      Life happens, so we provide up to two weeks of paid time off annually for illness, medical care, caregiving responsibilities and other types of emergencies.

      Well-Being Days
      Annual Strive-wide well-being days off provide Strivers the opportunity to focus solely on their well-being.

      Paid Holidays
      Annual Strive-wide holidays allow all Strivers to disconnect together to reflect and celebrate.

      Paid Leave
      Our 12 weeks of paid birth giving leave and four weeks of paid bonding leave start day one. We provide a four-week paid sabbatical after five years to return recharged. In alignment to our mission, we offer a paid living donor leave if any Strivers choose to become a living donor.

      Other Perks

      The needs of every Striver are different, so we ensure our benefits support a wide range of community, family and professional well-being.
