"This gives health plans like Sharp confidence that PureWellness is the right wellness platform to support their NCQA accreditation goals," said Barbara Rouleau, chief medical officer of PureWellness.
Dr. Nora Faine, Sharp Health Plan's vice president and chief medical officer, noted, "It was important to partner with a vendor that could support our efforts to design and align our programs with NCQA's wellness and health promotion accreditation in mind.
