Their success is our success”, says Parag Paranjpe, CEO of HealthLevel. “The user-tailored capabilities of Foundations™ has enabled NTP leadership and staff to align around a single source-of-truth that provides predictive, real-time and historical insights into clinical, financial and operational performance.”
