About Alara

Built by someone who did the work, for the people who do it every day.

Alara Healthcare is a Florida management services organization owned and led by Jonan Portal Alvarez, its Chief Executive Officer. It builds and runs the systems behind value-based primary care, and provides administrative and management services only.

Our story

Founded in 2024, Alara Healthcare grew out of nearly a decade inside South Florida's enterprise healthcare market: analytics at Sanitas Medical Centers, population health data stewardship across the Baptist Health Quality Network, and a national risk adjustment program at a multi-state health system. The pattern was the same everywhere. Population health systems could point to the problem, but they could not put it to work. They handed back a score and a count: this many open HCC gaps, this many quality measures, this much documentation to fix. None of them could turn that into a work list, assign it to the coder, the care coordinator, or the front desk, and follow it through.

So the work moved to spreadsheets and side systems. Our founder spent those years building extra tools just to get findings out of a platform and into someone's day, and swimming across four screens to answer one question.

So we built the platform we wished we had, for the analysts, data stewards, coders, and administrators who run value-based care every day. Alara Population Health shows the problem and then hands it to the person who can fix it: a gap becomes a task with an owner, a patient to call, a chart to close, a measure to meet, and the provider sees how that work shows up in the visit with the patient in front of them. It began as our own operating system and became a product when it was clear other organizations needed the same thing.

Today the Alara name spans three things with one standard: the platform, the management services organization that runs it for partner practices, and Alara One Care, a practitioner-owned practice that receives our management services and runs on the platform from its first day.

Management services organization

Jonan Portal Alvarez, BScE, MHSA

Chief Executive Officer, Alara Healthcare (management services)

Jonan Portal Alvarez founded Alara Healthcare after nearly a decade turning claims, EHR, and population health data into measurable risk adjustment and value-based care results inside some of the country's largest health systems. He leads a national risk adjustment program portfolio for a multi-state health system, directing analytics delivery across markets and serving as risk adjustment lead on an enterprise population health platform implementation. Before that, as data steward of record for the Risk Adjustment and Quality departments of the Baptist Health Quality Network, he set the data standards behind programs that raised provider HCC assessment rates from 40% to 90% and surfaced $2M in recaptured opportunity used in payer contract negotiations. He holds a Master of Health Services Administration from Florida National University and a BS in Computer Science Engineering, and he built Alara Population Health to give independent practices the operating discipline he ran at enterprise scale.

He is the sole owner of Alara Healthcare. Alara One Care, which the company serves under a management services agreement, is separately owned and led; he holds no office in it.

Values

What we believe

Let clinicians be clinicians.

Doctors and nurse practitioners should do what they do best: care for patients. Our job as a management services organization is to carry the administrative burden of value-based contracts so they can.

Honest numbers.

A blank is never a zero. A suggestion is never an instruction. Every figure says what it counts and what it does not.

Compliance by design.

Structure, fees, access, and audit trails are built to be examined.

We did the work, so we build for it.

Ten years of analytics, data stewardship, coding, and risk adjustment programs went into the platform. The same discipline runs the platform and shapes the administrative work we take on, so every recommendation comes from having done the work.
