"SCIO continues to be an aggressive market player in providing analytics solutions and tools that enable our customers to securely and accurately analyze and develop insights using operational, financial and clinical data so that in turn, they can offer their members the best available options, particularly in the areas of payment efficiency, quality and disease management," said SCIO Health Analytics CEO Siva Namasivayam. "As the health insurance industry continues to evolve and with the rapid acceptance of value-based payments, it is critical that SCIO keep pace with our clients' and markets needs in the payment and delivery of care and wellness services."

The report provides various examples where SCIO provides "a unique approach to measuring customer engagement*," including a pilot with a state Medicaid program that combines incentives and outreach efforts to further define the member population and explore ways to make effective behavior change.
