MEDai Client Ranked One of the Top 10 Health Plans in U.S.
Orlando, Florida (PRWeb) December 14, 2006 -- MEDai, Inc., a leading provider of advanced solutions for healthcare that utilize award-winning predictive modeling technology, congratulates UPMC Health Plan - a client of its Risk Navigator Clinical™ product - for being placed on the prestigious "honor roll" of the top 10 health plans in the nation, according to a report from U.S. News & World Report and the National Committee for Quality Assurance.
UPMC Health Plan, the second-largest health insurer in Western Pennsylvania, which is owned by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, utilizes data provided by MEDai's Risk Navigator Clinical™, such as forecasted costs, risk scores and chronic diagnosis indicators in conjunction with other information to help target the most appropriate members for care management interventions. The information is further used in a business scorecard model, helping to give UPMC's employer groups an understanding of the overall health risk of their employees.
"UPMC utilizes Risk Navigator Clinical™ to identify members with specific diagnoses and stratify them into low, moderate or acute categories," explained Dr. Michael Culyba, Vice President of Medical Affairs for UPMC Health Plan. "The accuracy of MEDai's predictions helps us to focus our intervention strategy, which can include education tools, periodic mailings, online tools or phone calls from a registered nurse to the most appropriate members."
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. The advantage of MEDai's prediction engine is its use of the right combination of linear and non-linear models to correctly "fit" the characteristics of each client's population. In addition, Risk Navigator Clinical™ provides modules that facilitate physician engagement, evidenced-based guideline gap analysis and provider profiling, all of which improve healthcare delivery.
"MEDai congratulates UPMC on their commitment to excellence and their efforts to provide members with quality care and proactive interventions," remarked Steve Epstein, President/CEO of MEDai.
