BOISE, ID--(Marketwire - Nov 13, 2012) - Survival in care management today requires shifting focus from disease management to consumer engagement. And Healthwise® solutions are helping many market leaders make that shift.
Healthwise consumer health education is included by five of the care management solutions providers assessed in a recent International Data Corporation (IDC) Health Insights report, "IDC MarketScape: U.S. Care Management Solutions for Healthcare Payers 2012 Vendor Assessment -- A Market in Transition to Health Engagement" (Doc # HI235803), July 2012, by IDC program director Janice Young.
"What an honor to be recognized with our partners in this study. It's been our singular mission for nearly 40 years to help people make better health decisions, and this study shows we're on the right track," said Jim Giuffre, Healthwise president and COO.
The study focused on how well care management organizations are positioned to improve outcomes, demonstrate engagement, control costs, and connect providers and care managers.
The Healthwise® Care Management Solution, a complete health education solution, delivers on these key differentiators by:
- Connecting people to the right health education.
- Engaging more people with fewer resources and lower costs.
- Providing better insight into consumer behavior.
- Reporting to employers that health programs are making a difference.
And the Care Management Solution gives clinicians and care managers a single platform and educational assets that can reach the entire populations of patient-centered medical homes and accountable care delivery systems.
"We only succeed when our clients succeed," added Giuffre. "That's why every day, we're innovating. We stay ahead of the trends. And we deliver revolutionary solutions that meet and even precede the market's needs."
