May 7, 2026: In New Strategic Alliance, NJHA and Jade Global Join Forces to Reduce Administrative Burden and Enhance Patient Care

The New Jersey Hospital Association announces a strategic collaboration with Jade Global, a leading AI-led digital transformation company, to deliver modern, secure and scalable technology solutions that power hospitals' efforts to preserve access to care and enhance the patient experience.

Through this alliance, NJHA extends its longstanding commitment to members beyond advocacy, analytics, quality improvement and continuing education into the realm of hands-on technology execution. With NJHA's distinct knowledge of the healthcare policy and regulatory sphere and Jade Global's expertise in implementation, integration and managed services, NJHA members now have a single trusted source that can take them from policy guidance all the way through to deployed, running technology solutions.

Solutions under the partnership will address areas including:

• administrative burden surrounding claims denials and prior authorization
• fragmented data and improved interoperability between provider and payer systems
• integrated AI-powered tools for improved operations to better serve patients
• and real-time reporting and performance monitoring to drive operational efficiency that helps contain costs.

"Technology can play a meaningful role in tackling healthcare's biggest pain points - including insurance red tape that creates access barriers for patients and costly bureaucracy for providers," said NJHA President and CEO Cathy Bennett. "NJHA's partnership with Jade Global provides purposeful use of advanced technology to cut red tape, tap the power of AI and connect systems centered around the patient to improve access and efficiency."

"By leveraging advanced data and AI capabilities, intelligent automation and seamless interoperability, our partnership empowers healthcare systems to streamline patients' access to services, improve efficiency and build a stronger footing amid a harsh fiscal climate," said Karan Yaramada, CEO at Jade Global.

The collaboration also embeds governance, ensuring AI adoption is responsible, data integrity is maintained, and innovation scales without introducing operational risk.
