Case Study: Virta Health tracks patient outcomes and scales value-based care with Health Gorilla APIs

How Virta Health uses Health Gorilla’s APIs to Track Patient Outcomes

Virta Health, a telemedicine provider focused on reversing type 2 diabetes and other chronic metabolic diseases, needed a better way to track patient outcomes at scale. Before working with Health Gorilla, the team manually created lab orders, received results by fax, and transcribed data into its system, creating time-consuming, error-prone workflows that didn’t fit Virta’s value-based care model.

Health Gorilla provided Virta Health with API-based lab ordering and result processing through a nationwide lab network, built on modern FHIR standards. With Health Gorilla’s APIs, Virta automated outcome tracking, improved data quality, and reduced manual work, enabling its small engineering team to scale patient monitoring efficiently while supporting its 100% at-risk business model and faster implementation in about a month.
