A New Paradigm
of Cardiovascular Care
Karoo helps cardiology networks, health systems, and health plans transition to and succeed in value-based care.
Cardiovascular care is the #1 cost to our health system.
The current fee for service model incentivizes providers to maximize volume and throughput at the expense of clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
