Azara Healthcare DRVS

What is Azara DRVS and who sells it?

Azara Healthcare is based in Burlington, Massachusetts. In February 2025 it merged with i2i Population Health, a deal led and funded by Insight Partners, with Hughes & Company as an existing investor. Terms were not disclosed, and i2i's website now says i2i is part of Azara. Jeff Brandes was CEO at the merger, and Mary Lantin is named President and CEO effective June 15, 2026.

The product, DRVS, blends clinical, health plan and social-need data. The homepage describes three stages: aggregate and activate, simplify, then engage and improve. Modules include patient visit planning, automated outreach, care coordination, cohort registries and dashboards, cost and utilization, Care Connect, and value-based care reporting with payer integration. The vendor says it serves more than 1,000 community health centers, practices and networks in 40 states. ITQlick gives more than 380 health centers in 31 states, against the vendor's 1,000+ in 40.

What does it do well?

Azara's certification list is its clearest strength. Its certifications page shows HITRUST r2 certification for DRVS and Care Connect dated October 19, 2022, NCQA Data Aggregator Validation as a Certified Data Stream from February 2022, NCQA HEDIS measure certification for measurement year 2022 and a press release for MY2025, and ONC Certified Health IT under the 2015 Edition, issued through Drummond Group in December 2021. The security FAQ says the platform has been HITRUST certified since 2017. No page gives the current expiry of any of these. On HIPAA, the certifications page says Azara is "committed to ensuring" compliance and names no certificate.

KLAS gives the company an overall score of 93.5, with 100% of surveyed customers saying they would buy again and an A+ for loyalty, figures the vendor cites. The KLAS vendor page lists Best in KLAS for population health management in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and the 2026 badge appears on Azara's own site. A separate KLAS page for DRVS says too few live customers exist to rank it.

A Nerdisa review praises support and automated UDS reporting.

Where does it fall short?

The same review calls the learning curve steeper for complex ad hoc reports and says large dashboards load slowly. The homepage says "Multiple EHRs? No problem" without naming any EHR.

What would a health center pay?

Azara routes pricing to a demo and calls it custom. ITQlick lists a starting figure of $100 per user per month as its own estimate, with no date given.

The verdict

Anyone buying DRVS for AI features is buying policy statements, since the public material names no shipped AI feature. A federally qualified health center or a community health network gets a product designed around its reporting duties, certifications that help in audits and a strong KLAS record. A hospital system or commercial group would be buying a safety-net tool for a different job.
