About Companion

What Is Laguna Companion?

Laguna Companion is an AI care management assistant for health plan care teams. It installs on care managers’ PCs in one click and works alongside the care management platform your team already uses. With a telephony integration, it also runs as a web app.

Companion stays with the care manager through every member conversation: a quick member view before the call, member needs surfaced during it, and documentation drafted after it. People make every clinical decision.

Companion is part of Laguna Health, an Elligint Health company. Integration with Helios® by Elligint Health is planned in phases, starting with Companion.

Before, During and After Every Call

Companion follows the way care managers already work: prepare, talk, document.

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Before the call

    Companion gives the care manager a quick member view before they dial, so they start the conversation with context instead of searching the record.

  2. 2

    Guide

    During the call

    During the call, Companion surfaces member needs and real-time prompts, so the care manager can stay focused on the member.

  3. 3

    Document

    After the call

    After the call, Companion drafts the documentation in the format your system of record expects.

Laguna Current

Documentation Your Team Can Trust

Every Companion draft is fit to your plan’s own forms. Laguna Current, the correctness system under every Laguna product, keeps it that way.

Works Inside the Systems Your Team Already Uses

Companion runs on top of your current care management platform, so there’s nothing to replace before you start. It installs on your care managers’ PCs in one click, and no EHR integration is needed to go live. A typical go-live takes about six weeks from kickoff, and can take as little as three.
