Arcadia Names 2026 Award Winners, Led by Seattle Children's Care Network

Arcadia named Seattle Children's Care Network, Ochsner Health, Guidehealth, Pediatric Health Network and Tandigm Health among its 2026 Arcadia Awards winners on November 11, 2026, with Baptist Health's Brett Bailey named the inaugural Advocate of the Year. The FinancialContent Business Page published the announcement. Arcadia is a private Boston-based healthcare data analytics company that aggregates EHR, claims, social determinants and pharmacy data for providers, payers, government agencies and life sciences organizations.

Seattle Children's Six-Week Improvement Sprints

Seattle Children's Care Network, a Washington-based pediatric clinically integrated network, won the Innovation in Action category. The network standardized data from more than 20 EHR environments, then ran a six-week, tournament-style initiative with matchups between practices across three two-week sprints. The sprints targeted well-child visit scheduling, HPV vaccination for adolescents, and developmental and autism screening.

The network improved 10.6% over baseline in six weeks, and the HPV sprint drove an 18% to 19% increase among eligible adolescents despite declining immunization trends. Arcadia described the model as a repeatable blueprint for distributed provider networks operating across multiple vendors and payers. Seattle Children's launched its Institute for Pediatric Innovation on October 26, backed by $5 million in anonymous and internal funding, Becker's Hospital Review reported.

Ochsner and Guidehealth Share Honors

Ochsner Health and Guidehealth tied in the Champions for Change category. Across a population of more than 80,000 heart failure patients, Ochsner's system readmissions fell from 18.8% to 17.18% year to date, hospital admissions decreased by 9.75 admissions per 1,000 patients, and length of stay dropped 5.4%, from 4.47 to 4.23 days. Ochsner also tracked 12,040 Stage 3 through Stage 5 chronic kidney disease members across four regions and increased CKD education visits by approximately 320%, from 112 to 470. The CHF and CKD programs generated more than $5 million in measurable financial impact.

Guidehealth built RoseConnect, a voice AI engagement platform that routes high-risk patients to human care managers after initial screening questions. Since going live, the team has increased post-discharge outreach by more than 200%.

Pediatric Health Network and Tandigm Results

Pediatric Health Network, a clinically integrated network serving the Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia region, won Transformational Excellence. From 2022 to 2025, depression screenings rose from 25% to 70%, hepatitis B vaccines from 52% to 94%, and Childhood Immunization Status (Combo 10) from 41% to 64%. The gains helped one payer move from a 3.5 Star to a 4.0 Star rating.

Tandigm Health, a population health company serving Greater Philadelphia and parts of New Jersey, won Meaningful Momentum. In 2026 it launched a platform-based population health tool built on a dynamic patient registry and a risk stratification algorithm customized to its population. Practices have reviewed and acted on nearly 70% of the patients identified in the registry.
