Geneia Helps Capital BlueCross Succeed in Accountable Care Arrangements
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Geneia, a company of experienced healthcare change agents creating analytic and technology solutions to improve healthcare, announced that they will share how they have helped Capital BlueCross succeed in its accountable care arrangements at Friday's Central Pennsylvania HIMSS conference, Clinical Informatics, Meaningful Use and the Triple Aim Outlook for 2016. Geneia's Chief Technology Officer Avi Mukherjee and Capital BlueCross Senior Medical Director Denise Harr, MD will discuss how the companies are working together to cost-effectively improve the health of Capital BlueCross members while helping the health plan and its participating hospitals and providers succeed in risk-sharing arrangements.
"In 2014, the cost of medical care for nearly half of Medicare's accountable care organizations exceeded expectations, demonstrating just how challenging it is to succeed as an ACO," said Avi Mukherjee, Geneia's Chief Technology Officer. "We know from our work with Capital BlueCross that health plans and providers need timely data and analytics insights in order to improve the quality and cost of care. That's what Geneia does for Capital BlueCross."
"We use Geneia's advanced analytics to integrate claims and utilization data, clinical outcomes, and benefit information to create one holistic view of each member that enables our physician and hospital partners to improve the quality and cost of care," said Denise Harr, MD, Capital BlueCross Senior Medical Director. "As a result of this all-inclusive approach to population health management facilitated by Geneia's solutions, Capital BlueCross is improving the health of its members while simultaneously increasing member and provider satisfaction."
Geneia's Avi Mukherjee continued, "In addition to the improvements for members and provider partners, the use of Geneia's advanced analytics platform has saved Capital BlueCross $1.7 million by replacing multiple legacy systems and vendors. A definite win-win-win."
