Oshi Health, a virtual gastrointestinal (GI) center of excellence, today announced that it has raised $60 million in Series C funding led by Oak HC/FT with participation from existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Flare Capital Partners, Frist Cressey Ventures, CVS Health Ventures, and Takeda Digital Ventures..

Oshi Health是一家虚拟胃肠道（GI）卓越中心，今天宣布，它已经在Oak HC/FT领导的C系列融资中筹集了6000万美元，现有投资者Bessemer Venture Partners，Flare Capital Partners，Frist Cressey Ventures，CVS Health Ventures和Takeda Digital Ventures参与了该项目。。

Oshi Health is now available in all 50 states to more than 40 million people as an in-network virtual GI clinic, and has a growing roster of in-person GI practice partners across the country. The company’s whole-person care model is helping patients reach lasting symptom control faster and at a lower total cost of care.

Oshi Health现已在所有50个州向4000多万人提供网络虚拟胃肠道诊所，并且在全国范围内拥有越来越多的亲自胃肠道实践合作伙伴。该公司的全人护理模式正在帮助患者更快地以更低的总护理成本实现持久的症状控制。

Oshi has partnered with innovative benefit leaders from employers such as Dayforce, Koch Inc., Mariner, Nielsen Company, and TE Connectivity to drive awareness and impact within their populations, with dozens more employer programs launching by year-end..

Oshi与Dayforce、Koch Inc.、Mariner、Nielsen Company和TE Connectivity等雇主的创新福利领导者合作，以提高其人群的意识和影响力，并在年底前推出数十个雇主计划。。

This new capital will help extend the company’s market leadership and momentum, by adding partnerships with more provider groups, growing payer coverage, servicing new employer partners, and expanding into Medicare populations beginning in 2025.

这项新资金将有助于扩大公司的市场领导地位和势头，增加与更多提供者团体的合作伙伴关系，扩大付款人覆盖范围，为新的雇主合作伙伴提供服务，并从2025年开始扩大到医疗保险人群。

“Digestive health is an urgent and under-resourced category, and Oshi stands out for its unique ability to provide proven clinical care that delivers faster relief for patients and significant savings for employers and health plans,” said Nancy Brown, General Partner at Oak HC/FT. “We are thrilled to support a team that is transforming value-based models within the virtual health space.”.

Oak HC/FT的普通合伙人南希·布朗（NancyBrown）表示：“消化健康是一个紧迫且资源不足的类别，Oshi以其独特的能力而脱颖而出，能够提供经过验证的临床护理，为患者提供更快的缓解，为雇主和健康计划节省大量资金。”我们很高兴能够支持一个在虚拟健康领域转变基于价值的模式的团队。”。

“Digestive health issues are a crippling reality for millions of Americans and a financial burden for their employers and health plans,” said Sam Holliday, CEO at Oshi. “We have proven the transformative ability of our model to fill the gaps in care and create value for everyone involved, and we are excited to have the support of healthcare’s leading investors as we scale to free millions of people from their suffering.”.

Oshi首席执行官萨姆·霍利迪（SamHolliday）表示：“消化系统健康问题是数百万美国人的致命现实，也是雇主和健康计划的经济负担。”。“我们已经证明，我们的模式具有变革能力，可以填补护理领域的空白，为所有相关人员创造价值，我们很高兴能够得到医疗保健主要投资者的支持，帮助数百万人摆脱痛苦。”。

Gastrointestinal care is a widespread need, 2 out of 3 Americans experience digestive symptoms every week and 25% of people live with a diagnosed GI condition, driving $136 billion in annual costs. In traditional GI care, patients lack support between visits and are left on their own to decipher complicated symptoms and coordinate their own care.

胃肠道护理是一项广泛的需求，三分之二的美国人每周都会出现消化道症状，25%的人患有胃肠道疾病，每年的费用高达1360亿美元。在传统的胃肠道护理中，患者在就诊之间缺乏支持，只能自己解读复杂的症状并协调自己的护理。

For many, symptom control remains elusive, and unmanaged digestive symptoms are the #1 cause of emergency department treat-and-release visits. Escalating costs have made it a top four cost driver for employers and payers alike..

对于许多人来说，症状控制仍然难以捉摸，未经管理的消化道症状是急诊科治疗和释放就诊的首要原因。不断上升的成本使其成为雇主和付款人的四大成本驱动因素。。

“Digestive health issues are a growing cost in our health plan and there is a shortage of high-quality, convenient digestive care in the marketplace,” said Matthew Hall, Benefits Strategy Manager at Koch, which relies on Oshi to provide virtual digestive care to its employees. “Oshi’s unique virtual model supports our employees and their families with the time and expertise needed to deliver truly transformative digestive care on their own terms.

科赫福利战略经理马修·霍尔（MatthewHall）表示：“消化系统健康问题在我们的健康计划中的成本越来越高，市场上缺乏高质量、方便的消化系统护理。”科赫依靠Oshi为员工提供虚拟消化系统护理。“Oshi独特的虚拟模式为我们的员工及其家人提供了所需的时间和专业知识，以他们自己的方式提供真正变革性的消化护理。

I’m excited about the partnership between Koch and Oshi and the potential to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our employees.”.

我很高兴科赫和Oshi之间的合作关系，以及为我们员工的生活带来有意义的改变的潜力。”。

Because of its clinical approach and unique ability to diagnose, prescribe, treat, and coordinate care, Oshi Health can intercept and change the trajectory of unmanaged symptom escalations and drive the most significant outcomes and cost savings in the industry. Oshi surrounds patients with a dedicated multidisciplinary care team – including advanced practice providers, registered dietitians, behavioral health specialists, and care coordinators, overseen by board-certified gastroenterologists.

由于其临床方法和独特的诊断，开处方，治疗和协调护理的能力，Oshi Health可以拦截和改变未经管理的症状升级的轨迹，并推动行业中最重要的成果和成本节约。Oshi由一个专门的多学科护理团队围绕患者，包括高级实践提供者、注册营养师、行为健康专家和护理协调员，由董事会认证的胃肠病专家监督。

This specialized care team works in collaboration with each other and in partnership with local gastroenterologists and primary care providers who are not structured or reimbursed to provide the time and high-touch care that Oshi delivers. Oshi patients can access unlimited virtual visits and messaging support with their care team until they understand their symptom triggers and gain the knowledge, tools, and optimal treatment plan to control their symptoms..

这个专业护理团队相互合作，并与当地胃肠病专家和初级保健提供者合作，这些提供者没有结构化或报销，无法提供Oshi提供的时间和高接触护理。Oshi患者可以与他们的护理团队进行无限制的虚拟访问和信息支持，直到他们了解症状触发因素并获得控制症状的知识、工具和最佳治疗计划。。

In data published at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement detailing an analysis conducted by a national health plan of a large commercially insured population using Oshi Health, 92% of patients reported symptom improvement with 98% patient satisfaction. This clinical trial also demonstrated that Oshi’s care resulted in total medical cost savings of $10,292 per patient in six months, driven by decreases in avoidable testing, procedures, ER visits, and medication utilization..

在医疗保健改进研究所公布的数据中，详细描述了国家健康计划使用Oshi health对大量商业保险人群进行的分析，92%的患者报告症状改善，患者满意度为98%。这项临床试验还表明，Oshi的护理在六个月内为每位患者节省了10292美元的总医疗费用，这是由于可避免的测试，程序，急诊就诊和药物利用率的下降。。
