“Lightbeam’s solutions will allow us to analyze our population base to identify additional services we should be offering, as well as provide our physicians with a better view of patients’ health through the aggregation of clinical and claims data.”

TPMG will be utilizing the following components of Lightbeam Health’s solutions:
