Elation Health and Seoul Medical Group (SMG) have announced a strategic partnership that will deliver customized electronic health record (EHR) solutions to SMG's network of over 5,000 primary care physicians and specialists. The collaboration focuses on enhancing care delivery and coordination while supporting clinical integration across SMG's seven U.S. markets serving more than 100,000 patients.
SMG, founded in 1993, operates one of the nation's largest physician-led independent practice associations with a particular focus on serving Asian American populations. The organization has built its reputation on delivering comprehensive care that extends beyond clinical needs, with a strong emphasis on culturally attuned services for underserved communities.
Through this partnership, participating SMG practices will receive several key benefits, including seamless digital integration between Elation's EHR platform and SMG's broader network infrastructure. Practices will also benefit from tailored onboarding processes and ongoing personalized support to ensure smooth technological transitions.
The partnership offers competitive pricing on Elation's solutions to minimize technology costs for independent practices. Additionally, practices will gain access to custom workflows and templates specifically aligned with SMG's value-based care protocols, featuring automated reporting capabilities that ensure providers receive appropriate recognition for delivering high-quality care.
"Elation and SMG share a deep commitment to supporting independent physician practices and sustaining the future of primary care," said Kyna Fong, co-founder and CEO of Elation Health. "Bringing SMG and Elation resources together to deliver value-based care will enhance the experience and sustainability of small practice primary care, and we couldn't be more thrilled for our future together."
The collaboration is strategically designed to help physicians efficiently manage their attributed SMG patient panels while maintaining the personalized, community-centered approach that defines independent practice. By automating the submission of required documentation and implementing pre-configured templates, the partnership aims to reduce administrative burdens, allowing physicians to focus more on direct patient care—particularly for Medicare Advantage and senior care populations.
This alliance reinforces both organizations' dedication to helping community-based providers maintain autonomy and clinical excellence while successfully navigating the increasingly complex healthcare landscape.
