ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 26 FL-MEDai-health-plan
ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- MEDai, Inc., headquartered in
Orlando, FL, a leading provider of advanced solutions for healthcare that
utilize award-winning predictive analytics, announced today that one of its
leading health plan clients will be presenting at the Blue Cross and Blue
Shield Association 2008 National Finance, Actuarial & Underwriting Conference,
September 7-10 in Scottsdale, AZ. The presentation will focus on how the
health plan has integrated MEDai's Risk Navigator Clinical(R) application into
its existing underwriting processes and how it has helped the organization
bridge the gap between underwriting and care management.
"Traditionally, Risk Navigator Clinical was used strictly for care
management related efforts. This presentation, however, is a perfect example
of how an organization can leverage the vast amount of data found within
MEDai's patient-centric database to bridge gaps between multiple departments,"
said Swati Abbott, President of MEDai. "Clients are beginning to think
outside the box in terms of maximizing the benefits that predictive analytics
provide," she added.
For more than a decade, MEDai's Risk Navigator Clinical has accurately
identified prospective high- risk patients to help its clients improve member
health and quality of care while controlling cost. Risk Navigator Clinical
also predicts inpatient stays; ER visits, pharmacy costs, and provides chronic
and acute cost avoidance scores in addition to analyzing evidence-based
guideline medicine compliance. These predictions allow care management
efforts to focus on members whose costs can be reduced through early
intervention.
